Intro to CLimbing

This course is for those that want to try out climbing for the first time, or for those gym climbers that want to take their first steps towards climbing outdoors. If you are a true beginner, great! We will get you geared up and pulling on rock! The time tested way to learn climbing is to start outdoors. If you are a gym climber who dreams of climbing beyond plastic, then we will get you there!

You will spend your day with an experienced guide learning the ropes of outdoor climbing. Clients will learn the basics of climbing technique, to include how to belay and how to tie into the rope with a figure-8 follow-through. Clients will be instructed in the basics of footwork and climbing movement, while being challenged on a variety of terrain. This program is designed for the beginner climber, or the climber new to outdoor climbing. The goal is to experience the thrill of outdoor climbing in a low stress, fun manner. We offer both full and half day options depending on your schedule and budget!

WHAT MAKES THIS COURSE DIFFERENT:

We run these courses to give you a taste of what climbing, and climbing outdoors, has to offer! If you have never climbed before, or if you have gym climbing experience, it doesn’t matter! Join this course, and taste outdoor climbing with our qualified guides. Throughout these trips we will be taking you through all that climbing has to offer.

During these courses, we will present climbs to you that cater to your skills while also gently pushing and expanding your boundaries. Generally, the curriculum in these courses is primarily concerned with getting you time on the rock, with learning basic skills a secondary goal.

We pride ourselves in being able to cater to the group dynamics of the day. The curriculum listed above is just a guideline. If you and your group want to pursue additional learning, goals, education, or harder climbs then we can make that happen.
