Intro to Rock Climbing
Overview
So, you’ve decided to step into the vertical world! The intro to rock program is a novice level class that will invite you to step outside your comfort zone and help build confidence while climbing outdoors. We will be covering the appropriate steps needed from the ground up which includes helmet/harness school, knots, language, and movement on the wall. Our Climbing Instructors understand that working up at heights can be intimidating which means they will take their time supporting and teaching the fundamentals of climbing and belaying at a pace that’s comfortable for you.
Topics Covered
- Crag etiquette and LNT (Leave No Trace) principles.
- Helmet/ Harness school.
- Climbing commands and language.
- Climbing knots.
- Belay school (if appropriate for group).
- Movement on the wall.
