Agenda
Day 1
- After a review of basic rock climbing and belaying techniques, you
will learn how to properly clip bolts, build anchors, belay a lead
climber, and safely take falls. Everyone will have lots of chances to
try leading.
Day
2 - As well as practicing the
skills learned on day 1, you will learn how to clean anchors (ie. how
to get your rope back without leaving any gear behind),
and deal with unnexpected situations such as not being able to make it
to the top of a climb. For those who are interested there may be the
opportunity for a brief introduction to traditional gear placements as
well.
Optional

Course participants can add on a day of multipitch climbing in groups
of 1 or 2 people. On the day after the course, this is offered at the
discounted rate of $350 for 1 person, $200 each for 2 people. Please
