This class is tailored for the older crowd curious about rock climbing. Maybe you’ve seen it on TV or social media and thought, “I could never do that.” While climbing is often portrayed as an extreme sport, beginners start with easy terrain and baby steps. You don’t need extreme strength—just basic fitness. If you can hike on uneven ground, you can climb! It’s like solving puzzles with your body and mind, offering a meditative and invigorating experience. Plus, top-rope climbing is safer than activities like cycling or pickleball. If you’re seeking a fun, social, and mentally stimulating outdoor activity, give it a try!

This class focuses on leading fundamentals. You’ll learn what it takes to become a competent leader: confidence in technique and the ability to place reliable protection and sound anchors. You’ll practice placement and removal of all the various state-of-the-art protection devices, with pointers from your guide, and, under close supervision and toprope protection, you will execute simulated lead climbs. Placing gear on lead, use of slings to reduce rope drag, proper carabiner clip-ins and alignment, belaying strategies, rope management and route-finding skills are among the topics covered.
