Using a top-rope set up on Mt. Jo we will cover the fundamentals of climbing safety, knots, belay techniques, climbing form, use of hardware and more. One and Two day workshops are offered.
All equipment is provided, with the exception of climbing shoes.
Youth ages 12-17 are welcome to enroll in the adult courses if accompanied by an adult. This course is designed for people who have taken an introductory climbing course on Mt. Jo and wish to expand their top-roping skills and explore new climbing sites in the Adirondacks. Climbing techniques, rope handling, belaying, and safe top-roping systems are among the skills that will be reviewed and expanded upon in this course.
