Gear & Skills
We cover essential equipment usage, knot tying, belaying technique, and basic movement on rock. You'll finish the day with confidence.
Half-Day Option 3 hours: Perfect for a quick introduction to climbing or for families with younger children. We focus on climbing movement, basic techniques, and plenty of top-rope climbing while choosing locations with short approaches to make the most of our time.
​
Full-Day Option 6-7 hours: Our recommended option for those looking for a more complete climbing experience. A full day gives us more time after fitting shoes and equipment and approaching the climbing area, allowing for significantly more time on the rock. In addition to climbing and movement skills, we can introduce fundamental technical skills such as climbing knots, belaying, communication, and basic climbing systems.
