Fundamentals-For Beginners

Our fundamentals of rock climbing course gives you a "chockful" (climbing joke) of knowledge and information on everything from technique on different rock angles to safety considerations and current best practices.

You will learn how to tie in properly with a figure 8 follow through knot, manage ropes (belaying, lowering, rappelling), climbing commands, and we will of course do some climbing.


We will custom tailor the day to your current climbing level and will spend the time teaching the applicable skills after assessing the best course options and sites for you, specifically..
