Introduction to Climbing
Designed for beginners, this class will provide a basic foundation for getting started in climbing. This course will introduce participants to the use and care of climbing equipment, how to tie climbing knots as well as teach you how to manage the most basic rope system known as belaying.

By the end of the class participants will be ready to take any climbing center belay test, which is a requirement to utilize indoor climbing facilities.
