\*\*Who am I? \*\*

My name is Sami Ylinen. I started climbing in 2006, and I've been a certified climbing instructor since 2016 with the Swedish Climbing Federation, Svenska Klätterförbundet. I have previously worked as a climbing instructor and shop manager at Klättercentret in Malmö, and I also teach climbing at Malmö Climbing Club.

I'm originally from Timrå, but I've lived in Malmö for more than 20 years. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy climbing sport or trad, preferably in Spain, making pancakes over a camp fire, painting and drawing, and building stuff. I also work as a goldsmith. I have masters degrees in music and in pedagogy, and I'm a certified first aid and CPR instructor.

Top Rope Course

Private course

This is for you if you already have a green card or a red card, and you want to get started climbing outdoors on top rope or lead on bolted routes. You will learn how to climb, belay, rappel, build and clean anchors, about the gear we use, how to manage weight differences, and about access and ethics outdoors. If you don't have a red card, you will get one after you pass this course. If you already have one, you will get to learn more of other things instead.

This course is taught during two full days outdoors. You will need to bring your own climbing shoes, food, and water. If you have a harness, belay device, and helmet, bring those too. Otherwise you can borrow them from me.
