Does anyone know where I can find a Learn to Lead course. I am an intermediate top rope climber and would also like a climbing partner in Melbourne for outdoors weekdays or weekends.

Hey John,

The Vic climbing club offers learn to lead courses. There's a link on the front page of Chocky which I can't link to because I'm not a smart man.

Hey John, try Bayside Rock in Carrum Downs, they run courses -

I climb there every week, it's a great place - if you want to come down for a climb let me know.
Cheers

Unfortunately there is a big difference between gym lead climbing and the big outdoors, (Placing Gear). I went on the VCC learn to lead in 2008 and have never looked back

There's an overview of the L2L course offered by the VCC here: http://www.vicclimb.org.au/index.php?location=courses

Hmmm like the look of the VCC one, should do that myself - got lazy living in the UK for so long, too easy to go and clip bolts !!
