Lead Climbing 5.10 - 5.12

The responsibility of taking the “sharp end” and leading the rope is no joking matter, nor is belaying it. In Part I of this two-part class you will learn clipping techniques on vertical and overhanging walls as well as climbing techniques such as; finding your center, route assessment, how to rest, straight arm climbing, all necessary for leading.
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 belaying of the leader. Dynamic belays will be the major focus here; you will learn three styles of this, as well as the different ways of properly feeding the rope to the leader keeping them confident and safe. 

This class is offered by appointment only.
