ABD Verification
Verification is a skills test conducted by a member of the gym staff to ensure your competency in belaying safely at their gym facilities.
This test applies to all gyms across the world, and as climbers we have to abide by their policies should we want to climb there.
In Climbodachi, we guide our students towards competency in ABD usage during the course. Unfortunately, we do not provide verification on behalf of any other gyms outside the class as verification test must be conducted at their respective facilities.
ABD Workshop (Conducted at end of course)
We prepare you for the verification test by ensuring you will be able to utilise the ABD devices properly. Team Climbodachi has invested in a variety of Assisted Belaying Devices for you to try and find the best one suited for you before getting one!
Learn how to use it safely while saving money from buying the wrong device!

Had so much fun doing my Level 1 with Climbodachi! My instructor was Linda and she made the course so fun and engaging, with so many practical tips on equipment even.Can’t wait to do my Level 2 with Climbodachi again (((-:
Did Level 1.Nice of the instructor to tell even the minute details of the harness, belay device and shoes that you will usually not find easily online.Also gave me tips on getting ready for level 2
Completed the SCNS Level 1 Course today and the experience was great. Linda is an awesome trainer who knows her stuff and is quick to spot our mistakes.T-Hall is cool too! Hope to be back for Level 2.
Went for SNCS Level 1 course with Climb’O’Dachi. The founders personally conducted the course and were really friendly and patient throughout 🙂
They were super kind in allowing us to try out their personal collection of assisted braking devices, which was really helpful for us in deciding which ABD to invest in (since they are quite pricey!!)
I don’t think other course providers offer this. Highly recommend!!!
I completed my SNCS Level 1 course with Climbodachi and it was a really awesome experience!
Before the course, I was always nervous about climbing in groups, especially with strangers, and that made me hesitate before signing up for the course. However, I had nothing to worry about!
My Climbodachi instructor Linda was instantly able to make us feel comfortable and the entire session felt cosy. Linda was extremely knowledgeable about climbing, including equipment, the climbing scene in Singapore and techniques to climb better. She was very generous in sharing her knowledge and answering our questions about anything related to climbing. The complimentary ABD course was very helpful as we were able to try out the range of ABD devices there were in the market and have a feel for which we would like to purchase in the future. At the end of the course, Linda also told us about Climbodachi-exclusive discounts for climbing equipment and gyms around Singapore!!
Overall, a really great course! 10/10 will recommend. Looking forward to taking my level 2 course with them in the future too 🙂
I signed up for the level 1 course. My instructor Hadri was very welcoming and friendly towards all of us even though we had varying levels of climbing experience. We could all feel the climbodachi family spirit!
Thoroughly enjoyed taking my SNCS level 1, very structured course w super friendly instructors who made the whole thing really fun & comfortable!
Our instructors, Linda and Fai, were great – they gave clear instructions to teach us what we had to know, and value-added to what was good to know. Glad I did my L1 with them. (:
I am glad that I chose my SNCS Level 1 course certification with Climbodachi.
Despite being fearful of heights and falling, I managed to climb to the top of the wall with the guidance and patience with their instructors Ben and Azlinda.
We were encouraged to ask questions throughout the course and were frequently quizzed on our knowledge and techniques, which made the course more engaging and interactive.
I also noticed that the instructors identified and coached participants (one of them being me)who would benefit from more coaching and tips. This showed that I was in good hands.
The course-mates were awesome too. They made my Saturday really fun.
Course ended with a nice debrief where we were given discount vouchers for gym entries and gear purchases. These would really help new climbers to start out.
Thanks again Ben and Azlinda. Stay awesome Climbodachi .
Attended the SNCS level 1 course and I’m thoroughly satisfied with the course. The instructors Jared and Linda were friendly, passionate and knowledgeable. Course was well paced and sufficient time was given to practice our belaying. Overall, a great experience with Climbodachi!
Attended the SNCS Level 1 course and enjoyed myself thoroughly! The course was well-paced with a good balance of theory and practical. Instructors Faizal and Azlinda were also very encouraging, patient and also forthcoming in sharing tips and know-hows with the participants. Would definitely recommend Climbodachi!
Chanced upon Climbodachi by chance and I was lucky I chose them! Instructor Faisal and his wife Linda were awesome, it wasn’t just that the instructions were professional, but could also sense their enthusiasm towards not just climbing but also sharing their knowledge with the participants. Felt really comfortable, taken care of and in good hands right from the start.
Strong focus on safe climbing and building confidence using the right gear (e.g. made several types of belaying devices available for us to try). Plenty of practical tricks and tips shared too which one obviously only learn from experience, showing the depth of knowledge of the instructors as climbers themselves!
I was searching for a place to complete my level 1 sports certification and im so glad i chanced upon climbodachi. My partner and i signed up for a sunday class and we were happy to have a 1-1 session with instructor linda and jared. Throughout the whole course, they made the learning environment very comfortable for us. They were very friendly and provided us with lots of additional information pertaining to climbing. They were professional in demonstration and explanation ensuring that we get a lot of hands on time during the course. In addition, they were super encouraging when i felt worried belaying someone who was heavier than me 😁.
Overall, i’d recommend anyone to take the level 1 with climbodachi because the instructors made us feel very welcomed and they were super super friendly the whole time 🙂 Really Passionate peeps! Thank you linda and jared 🙂
My friend recommended me to experience and do my SNCS level 1 at climbodachi and indeed it was really worth coming. A big thank you to my good instructors Fai, Zikri and Linda. They were knowledgeable and really have good skills in giving us the right knowledge and safety skills to look for in climbing. My instructors were very friendly, assuring and encouraging to us to keep on trying when they pointed out our mistakes and letting us correct, practise and practise. They really were amazing!! Highly recommended for a beginner like me or to anyone who would like to be certified, you’re in good hands with climbodachi. Can’t wait to experience level 2 with them.
Instructions were detailed and instructor Fai was high-spirited and engaging. He was very encouraging too and gave us pro tips along the way. Most unexpected part was that there was actually some time dedicated to belaying with the ABD which was great as it gave us practical experience. Highly recommended level 1 course and I look forward to using the vouchers given to us!
I took the SNCS level 1 course with Linda as my instructor and I had so much fun even though it was a small class! She was very knowledgeable and patient when teaching us. Will definitely come back for level 2 🙂
