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!

TESTIMONIALS
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 🙂
