Introduction To Rock Climbing

1.5 hours | $35 for members | $45 for non-members

 

Rock climbing can be a fun mental and physical challenge. This course will introduce you to basic safety, equipment, and climbing technique.

The top rope portion of this class will focus on equipment, knot-tying, belay technique, and climbing technique, while the bouldering portion will focus on falling, spotting, padding, and climbing technique. This class is intended for climbers age 13 and up due to belaying age restrictions.

Includes:

  • One and a half hours of instruction
  • Rental equipment
  • Climbing time for the remainder of the day/evening

Lead Climbing

2 x 2 hour classes | $85 for members | $100 for non-members

The responsibility of taking the “sharp end” and leading the rope is no joking matter – and the belayer’s job is even more important.

In Part I of this two-part class you will learn about preparation and visualization, as well as strategies for climbing efficiently, including how to rest. We’ll focus on clipping techniques and practice falling, as well as doing some climbing, of course.

In Part II of the lead class we’ll have a brief recap of Part I to get you warmed up, then you will focus on the act of lead belaying.  We will focus the basic mechanics of a lead belay before going over the nuts and bolts of giving safe dynamic belays that will give your climber the confidence to push forward!

Includes

  • Two classes – 2 hours of instruction per class
  • Climbing time for the remainder of the day
  • 15% off discount on any rope purchase
    (must be used within 1 week of class participation)

Prerequisites:

  • Climb 5.10 or harder
