Rock Climbing 101: Introduction to Climbing (Class 1)

Rock Climbing is a fun sport that works the entire you. It's a great combination of strength training, a core workout, delicate gymnastic-like movement, and a challenging mental exercise figuring out your next move on the Wall. You can learn the basics of rock climbing through this two-part introductory rock-climbing class! No previous climbing experience is required. Attendance at both sessions (2/28 & 3/6) is expected; please make sure to register for both sessions. 

Class 1: Overview of gear use and fit, wall orientation and belay class.
Class 2: Belay test and intro to efficient climbing movement.
