Camp Descriptions: Our level one climbing class is aimed at new climbers looking to learn more techniques for climbing well and to learn about the technical equipment used in setting up top rope climbs. Climbers will learn proper body positioning, rappelling, belaying, communication and bouldering techniques. Over the course of 4 days in the gym with our instructors students will learn how to setup safe and proper anchors using both anchor bolts and protection equipment like cams, tri-cams, etc. On the 5th day of our class students will go out to a climbing site with our instructors who will observe and help as students setup several climbs, use them to rappel to the ground and then spend the day climbing. This will end up being a fun packed all-day outing.
Our level two climbing class is aimed at new climbers that have taken our level on climbing class or have been climbing and belaying for a while and are looking to learn how to be self-sufficient when it comes to handling equipment, setting up top-rope belay systems, and climbing outside of the gym without an instructor present. We will be working towards the ability to set up a top-rope’s anchor point with no supervision and move our students towards the confidence to begin purchasing climbing equipment and climbing outside on their own. This should be an informative and slightly more intense class that will get its students ready to enter a world of climbing. We will hold 3 days of class in the gym with the 4th and 5th day being outdoor climbing excursions putting learned skills to the test.
