rock climbing courses. In three days you will learn about cliff line safety, basic movement on rock
(including the correct way to use your feet, balance and weight transfer, edging, smearing, knots,
rope handling, rappelling and belay techniques, rock features and climbing communications.
You will be introduced to varying degrees of height and difficulties as you progress.
At the end of the course you will have mastered the basic skills and techniques for a safe,
enjoyable climbing. This will enable you to climb with experience leaders up moderately graded
climbs.
After a climb, it's faster, safer, and
more convenient to go back to the
ground by rappelling. Sometimes
rappelling is the only way down.
