Rock Climbing Review
This 2 day course has emphasis on reviewing and introducing skills for people who want to lead climb safely at the crags. We will discuss leading techniques, belaying techniques, setting up top rope anchors and how to clean them safely, rappelling, proper communication and of course do some climbing. This is a great course for people who have some experience outside or as an early season refresher for more experienced climbers.
You can expect lots of feed back and direction from the guides. This is an excellent course to move up and progress to the Rock Progression or Rock Masters Course
