“Everything ran smoothly and the guides were very friendly. I liked getting one-on-one coaching while climbing, that helped a lot and calmed my nerves.”

Additionally, class size is limited to 10 climbers to maintain personalized instruction, and each climber receives a detailed course handout to help maintain learning objectives.  The second day happens the next week giving climbers a time to process the first day of lessons.

Belaying: Belaying is the action of controlling and managing a rope for a climber. Typically belaying is done with the use of a belay device. With the belay device, a belayer can safely catch a falling climber.

Top Rope Climbing: Top rope climbing (or top roping) is normally considered the safest climbing system. It is where a rope is attached to a belayer, goes above through a secure anchor, and finally down towards the climber who is attached to the other end.
