Climbing Workshop for Beginners

OVERVIEW

This trip is for those who have always wanted to give climbing a try but have yet to do so. Climbing in the gym is a great way to learn the basics-especially in the winter. If you have never climbed before or have just been once, the join this adventure. Who knows…when Spring comes you might feel ready to come on some of our outdoor climbing trips.

On Tuesday you will learn about climbing shoes, harnesses, figure 8 knots, belaying, and basic climbing technique. It will be a time to ask questions and and get some repetition and practice.

Club provides: all gear, ride in a car

Arrive promptly at Echols so we can head over to the gym ASAP.

You bring: long shorts/pants, water, $7 for a day pass (cash only!), and cut your nails short.

You must attend the trip for the entire posted time.

If you sign up and later decide you cannot attend you must withdraw immediately and call me if it is close to the trip start time. This is especially important for these trips because there is often a long wait list.

If you fail to show up for the adventure you will get lowest priority on future climbing trips. So please withdraw and notify me if you can’t make it.
