Rock Climbing 101 is our introductory level climbing day. Perfect for complete beginners, families, group events, and for the gym climber who wishes to make the transition to outdoor climbing. Guests learn all the basics: Equipment details, tying a climbing rope into a harness, belaying, rappelling, and movement over rock skills (such as footwork and body position). The bulk of the day is spent on the rock, so guests get plenty of climbing time.
