Intro To Rock
In this 8 hour Rock Intro Course, we cover the basic fundamental skills necessary to enjoy an outdoor climbing day. Commands, knots/hitches, belaying, lowering, rappelling and climbing movement will all be demonstrated, discussed and practiced. Not only will you learn technical and movement skills, but outdoor etiquette and principles of environmental stewardship will be presented as well.
Whether it’s your first time outside or you are looking to refresh your expertise, all abilities and experience levels are welcome. This course is held in both Golden and Boulder.
