Rock Climbing Clinic:
Recognition of hazards, movement on rock, belaying, knots, rope management, rappelling and use of technical gear.
Description:
This class is designed for first time climbers, those moving outside from the gym, or anyone seeking a thorough review of the basics of rock climbing. The instructor will go through harness, tying-in, belaying, communication, top-rope anchors, rappelling and movement on rock. Participants will climb a variety of routes to practice these skills while the guide checks all techniques for safety and provides advice and demonstrations aimed at getting all participants to a higher level in their own climbing. Depending on group size and individual goals, a short multi-pitch may be included in the day. This will involve an introduction to natural protection (cams, stoppers, slings, etc.) and its removal and how to tie-in and belay from a ledge. We usually meet at the Big Cottonwood Canyon park & ride lot at 8 am, and spend the day on the quartzite crags of the Storm Mountain area.
* No experience necessary for this class.
