Rock Experience - Introduction to Rock Climbing

This program is designed as an introduction to the exhilarating sport of Rock Climbing. It can be done as either a full or half day program. Our recommendation is for the full day program, as it allows the chance to try a variety of climbs and develop your skills.

We will go to a local climbing area and participants will have the opportunity to climb a variety of routes with the security of a top-rope. Safety is our top priority.

You will learn the basic skills to rock climb outdoors including:

• Hazard awareness and risk mitigation
• Tying in to the rope
• Belaying and Lowering
• Communication between climbing partner
• Climbing Movement techniques

As always, your guide will customize the program to suit the skills and abilities of the group!

Climbing areas we typically visit on this program:

• Sunshine Slabs (near Banff)
• Back of the Lake (Lake Louise)
• The Dome (near Canmore)

Suitable for all ages and ability levels. Kids love this program!
