Over the course of two classes, learn the critical techniques necessary to both lead climb and lead belay in the gym. Participants will be given the opportunity to take and catch practice lead falls with a back up and direct coaching. This course is also a great first step for those with aspirations of leading outdoors.
Please note: In this class, participants will learn to belay using a Petzl GRIGRI. These devices will be provided for the duration of the class.
Equipment: Climbing shoes, as well as a harness and necessary hardware, are included. Please wear comfortable clothing that will not restrict your movement. Athletic wear or sweatpants/shorts and a t-shirt are fine.
Prerequisites: Belay Safety Check (Top Rope). While there is no strict requirement on climbing ability, most participants are able to comfortably top rope several 5.10a’s in a normal climbing session.
Note: This two day class is run Monday/Wednesday and Tuesday/Thursday. A single booking includes registration for Day 1 and Day 2. This class requires a minimum of 2 participants and your class will be rescheduled if less than 2 participants are registered.
