Rock climbing experience day for beginners
Have you ever seen climbers high-up on a cliff or mountain and wondered at how they are doing it? Have you thought; How do the keep themselves safe and is it tiring? Is it fun or scary or cool and Could I do that?
Well come and join us and find out with a fun day on the Olympic Peninsula with an action packed experience day where you will learn rock climbing, try out the equipment and take on a variety of climbing routes along with receiving expert instruction.
This Course will teach you the basics of rock climbing starting with how to use the fundamental equipment such as a harness, helmet and rock shoes and how it keeps us safe. We will learn the knots you need to be safe and how to use ropes (don’t worry its easy to remember!) that keep us safe and let us move up and down in the vertical world. The focus of the day will be trying lots of climbs and getting hands and feet on the cliffs and then towards the end of the day you will also be able to have try rappelling down the cliff so you can embrace your inner James Bond….
This sounds great! What do I need to know?
Who can come on this Course? We are inclusive to all and will try and work around any special circumstances during the rock climbing day and it is a course for anyone with a sense of adventure to try out rock climbing, have a go at rappelling and learn the basics.
