ADULTS CLIMB

LEARN TO LEAD

Participants learn the basics of prudent and efficient lead climbing, and how to provide a solid lead belay including feeding out and taking in slack, rope management, proper clipping techniques, and how to adequately catch a fall. This class teaches all the skills necessary to take and pass an Alaska Rock Gym lead climb & belay test. This is a two part class.

Prerequisites:

  • Participants have previously received a top rope belay certification at Alaska Rock Gym prior to taking the Learn to Lead class.
  • Minimum age 16 years old
  • Must be able to comfortably climb 5.10 in the gym

Non-Members: $140

Members: $100

 

Two consecutive Tuesdays | 6-8pm

Part One is intended to be a classroom-style approach where participants learn clipping techniques and lead belaying from the ground. Climbers will mock lead belay and practice catching falls.

Part Two is structured to apply the skills learned in part one in a true lead climb & belay session.
