Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

SISOCLM002 - Top rope climb single pitches, natural surfaces

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare for the climb.

  1. Select clothing, footwear and personal protective equipment suitable for the climb and conditions.
  2. Confirm activity safety and emergency response procedures to ensure compliance during activities.
  3. Confirm protocols for communications between climber and belayer.
  4. Interpret route description; identify position of natural features, the climb route and contingencies.
  5. Attach and adjust belay equipment to self and tie knots suitable for the established belay system.
  6. Complete equipment safety checks prior to climbing or belaying.
Select clothing, footwear and personal protective equipment suitable for the climb and conditions.

Climb and descend single pitch routes using top rope techniques.

  1. Use safety procedures at bottom, top of and throughout climbs to minimise risk to self and others present.
  2. Use appropriate posture and climbing techniques suitable to natural features.
  3. Locate and evaluate natural features during climb and adjust technique to suit.
  4. Locate and utilise rest positions to reduce fatigue.
  5. Safely approach, avoid or negotiate hazards to ascend and descend in a controlled manner.
  6. Maintain effective communication with belayer throughout climb.
  7. Use appropriate posture and top rope lowering techniques during descent.
  8. Use techniques that minimise damage to equipment and the surface during climb.

Belay tope rope climbers.

  1. Avoid or negotiate hazards and use safety procedures to minimise risk to self and others present.
  2. Establish belaying position and attach self to anchor, as required, to allow effective and safe use of belay system.
  3. Maintain rope tension to minimise fall distance and ensure climber movement is not unduly restricted.
  4. Monitor climber progress constantly, and maintain clear communication with climber.
  5. Arrest falls promptly using technique suitable to belaying device and situation.
  6. Safely and efficiently secure climber using tie off techniques; release tie off and allow climber to continue.
Avoid or negotiate hazards and use safety procedures to minimise risk to self and others present.
