If you have questions about other pursuits, instruction or trips, we can steer you in the right direction. Our basic course is geared to those who have little or no previous climbing experience. The goal of the course is to turn out folks who are comeptent to climb as a second person on a rope on multi-pitch climbs. Basic knots, equipment, belaying, and rappeling techniques, basic anchors, and the setting up of toprope situations are covered. While progressing from short to multi-pitch climbs, the student will gain an understanding of the climbing system as a whole as well as some of the ethics and philosophy that have helped the sport to evolve to its current state.
