After reviewing fundamentals (knots, anchoring, and belaying), you’ll complete a progression of climbs where a broad range of more challenging climbing techniques are encountered, from the subtleties of edging and smearing used in face climbing to jamming and laybacking used in crack climbing. Protected by a toprope, each student is given personalized coaching and is allowed to progress to the limit of their ability. This class also includes an introduction to anchoring fundamentals using trad gear.
Classes generally meet at 8 a.m. and generally last until approximately 4 p.m.
