Intermediate Climbing 201

Trip Details

So, you’ve got that whole belaying and rappelling thing down and you’ve been following your friends on a number of multi-pitch routes, but what happens if you drop your rappel devices? Can you set up a redirected lower if someone gets hurt? Does your belay look like it was brought to you by “Mister Messy?” This course if for everyone who has gotten a decent start in climbing but has started to realize their climbing skills tool box is, well, a little sparse.

Our advanced course will turn you into a better, safer and more efficient climber. Each day, students will take more responsibility as a member of the climbing team and learn some of the more advanced concepts associated with anchors, belaying, rappelling, and rope management. This high-mileage course is bound to improve your future climbing experiences; the longer you can stay, the more we can teach you!
