· Rigging and rope work systems for cleaning and equipping climb sites.

· Testing/decision making of suitable quality of rock for fixed protection.

· A knowledge of different types of bolts.

· Hands on experience of placing and testing both resin and expansion bolts.

· An understanding of the ethics/considerations involved.
