This climbing tour is designed with first-time climbers in mind. Unlike many courses, you will be properly supervised by certified instructors with a small participant class.
Feel the excitement of accomplishment and an adrenaline rush as you conquer your first outdoor rock climb. The combination of mental and physical challenges makes it a unique experience. Nothing heightens the senses more than the combination of delight and relief that comes from reaching the top of a demanding rock climbing route. These confidence-building exercises in balance, technique and trust are key to your individual progress and enjoyment of rock climbing.
During your day, you will be spending 30 percent in a classroom setting and 70 percent of the time climbing. You will learn balance, weight distribution, energy conservation, choreographing moves and bouldering concepts. You will also have instruction on the proper use and care of equipment, knots, safety protocols, hands-on belaying, communication signals and climbing terminology.
