These courses are held on only a handful of days throughout the year, however the schedule is flexible if there is a minimum of 4 people interested in booking this activity.

Climbing To the Top
Our beginner climbing course is designed to familiarize you with the basic principles of rock climbing and rock climbing techniques, as well as basic gear review, risk and safety management, route grades and their difficulty ratings, top rope climbing, and the history of the sport.

After ground school is done, we get rockin! Top rope routes from 30-100 feet are setup and we climb the rest of the day, practicing technique, learning correct movement, and having fun! The course is perfect for first time climbers and gym climbers transitioning to outside rock.
