Have you always wanted to try rock climbing? Our Intro Plus lesson offers professional instruction and covers everything a first time climber needs to know!
We will go over how to use our belaying system and how to tie into a climbing harness. Our instructors will take you through some basic climbing techniques, explain climbing terminology, hold types, and help you with route selection. Bouldering (climbing without ropes) will also be explored in more detail and your instructor will be on hand to answer questions and give advice throughout the duration of the lesson. There is also time set aside at the end of the lesson to help focus on any specific skills or questions you might have. We look forward to getting you started on your climbing journey!
