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! In Lead Climbing, using the ABD device properly is not the same as how you would do on Top Rope Belay.
Learn how to use it safely while saving money from getting the wrong device!

TESTIMONIALS
I took my SNCS Level 2 with Climbodachi and I’m really glad I did! After taking the course, I found that it was important to stretch the course across 2 days, allowing climbers to make mistakes and gather feedback/comments from the instructor. The instructor (Fahmi) was extremely professional, knowledgeable and prioritised safety over everything. Apart from the course curriculum, Fahmi taught us skills that would help us if we were to climb outdoors / overseas.I would highly recommend Climbodachi for anyone who is considering taking up their L2!
Did a sncs lvl 2 with fahmi. Instructor was awesome. It was a very interactive 2 day course. Instructor was very knowleageable and shared real life experience and scenarios. He was very focused on safety aspect, regardless on how much your experience is. Taking the course with him, you will definitely get more than what you bargain for. Stay safe and climb on.
Attended SCNS Level 2 with Climb’O’Dachi. Fahmi is knowledgeable and is sincere with his advice. Throughout the course, he watches and facilitates our learning not just from him but from each other.
We were encouraged to ask questions, discuss safety and other climbing concerns.
I have only been climbing for 6 months and plans to try multi-pitch in the future, his input was invaluable.
Fahmi is a friendly and knowledgeable instructor. He covers a lot of information and skills on lead climbing in a safe environment, and his explanations are easy to understand. I completed the SNCS level 2 course under Fahmi and it was a great and fun experience, highly recommended to learn from him!
