Climbing (Indoor Bouldering)
Climbing (Indoor Top Rope)
Echols Dorm: Brick Wall By Side Door
Rocky Top Gym
Want to get into rock climbing but have never done it before? This is your perfect opportunity to learn some basic skills for climbing!
We will be meeting at Echols at 6PM and then head into the gear room to get ourselves the necessary climbing gear.
We will roll over to Rocky Top Climbing Gym here in Charlottesville where I will teach you how to tie the basic climbing knots you need to climb on a rope and also how to belay safely (the belayer is the person on the other side of the rope taking up slack for the climber and catching the climber if they fall).
Then we can climb around for another hour or so, so we can practice our new skills! I can additionally give a technique workshop if there is interest.
What you need:
-Water
-$10 to purchase a day pass for the gym
-Any climbing gear if you have it
-Psych
What the club provides:
-All necessary climbing gear including shoes, harnesses, chalk, and belay devices, so don’t worry if you don’t own any of your own gear!
