Rock Climbing 1
Discover what rock climbing is all about in this 4-hour clinic designed for the beginning rock climber. Your clinic will begin at 9:30 am and end at 1:30 pm. No climbing experience is necessary. For those of you who have climbed in an indoor gym and want to try it outdoors we will cover top roping procedures.

We will begin with a short gear and safety lesson to get you acquainted with the equipment. Our expert climbing instructors will teach you basic rock climbing safety, climbing knots, climbing commands, basic top roping techniques, rope management and an overview of the climbing rating system, and of course, get you on a lot of climbs.

This is a great opportunity to get exposure to outdoor climbing in a safe, supportive, fun and nurturing environment. We provide a non-threatening environment for the beginner rock climber. Come explore the climbs of the Bay Area with Us!
