St Peters new lead belay pass requirements 11-Jun-2017 At 10:54:36 AM Flano

Only newly accredited leaders are affected. People who've held their ATC lead pass prior to the new ruling do not have to be re-assessed. This was confirmed by the staff member.

St. Peters now permits assisted belay devices which you need to be assessed for independently from your ATC. If you want a pass for both you need to be assessed for both, two different assessment processes. This was confirmed by the staff member.

The staff member also said as I'm already ATC accredited (had it for 9 years) and I wanted to do my assisted belay device assessment I would need to come back after one month to be re-assessed. The one month period was referred to as a probationary period. Everyone at all levels are obliged by the new rules.
