Description

This is a 2 day course intended to give
participants an introduction to rock climbing.
The
goal is
to provide a learning environment where people
can
learn the basic elements of outdoor rock
climbing safely.

Curriculum:

• Putting on a harness.
• Learning about climbing gear.
• Tying basic knots.
• Checking your partner.
• Belaying with a tube device.
• Communications between partners.
• Basic climbing techniques.
• Rappelling safely.
• Rope coiling.

Community Contribution
A dozen or more willing volunteers, put in a
thousand or
more hours a year to make these courses happen,
all of
which include top-quality instruction at
incredible value
for money. We’ll literally share everything we
know about
staying safe in the mountains with you, because
we
want
you to experience nature as we do.

That said, participation is a two way street,
and
if
you’re going to take a course, we ask that you
start
thinking about ways to contribute back to the
community
also. Remember, we’re an entirely volunteer
based
community and this only works if everyone
contributes!
Please consider becoming a trip-coordinator and
hosting a
trip (even just a simple hiking trip) when
signing
up for
this course!
