Intro to Rock Climbing Class

Saturday, July 8 from 10:00 am - 03:00 pm -  ONLINE REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED   

Location: Big Cottonwood Canyon

This class is designed for first time climbers, those moving outside from the gym, or anyone seeking a thorough review of the basics of rock climbing.  The instructor will go through harness, tying-in, belaying, communication, top-rope anchors, rappelling and movement on rock.  Participants will climb a variety of routes to practice these skills while the guide checks all techniques for safety and provides advice and demonstrations aimed at getting all participants to a higher level in their own climbing.

Depending on group size and individual goals, a short multi-pitch may be included in the day. This will involve an introduction to natural protection (cams, stoppers, slings, etc.) and its removal and how to tie-in and belay from a ledge.

* No experience is necessary for this class!

Cost: $110.00 per person
