Where it all begins. The Introduction to Rock Climbing Course focuses
on fundamental skills and techniques. Participants will receive expert
instruction on the proper use of harnesses, tying knots, belaying
technique, rappelling and basic climbing skills. This is the perfect
experience for those taking their first steps into the vertical world
or for climbers who have yet to learn to belay. Those climbers with
basic climbing experience and belay skills should begin with the
Intermediate Rock Climbing course.
"An hour of climbing burns more than 900 calories, making it one of the most effective total-body workouts in or outside of the gym." Men's Health Magazine
