The simplicity of clipping bolts and trying hard, sport climbing is deservingly popular for its ease of access and athleticism. Minimal equipment, the ability to try as hard as you can, and fall safely are all common parts of the experience. Sport climbing is truly where your outdoor climbing begins, this is where you develop movement skills, build strength and gain the confidence to climb with the rope trailing below you, lead climbing. This course will teach you the fundamentals of safe sport climbing, everything from learning to lead, the techniques of catching a fall, basic anchors configurations, cleaning a route, and much more.

One of the skills we want you to master is catching a fall in a dynamic way that stops the falling climber, without creating a harsh pendulum swing into the wall. Ouch! Not confidence inspiring!
This course is recommended for people who have developed their indoor climbing and top rope belaying skills. It’s also beneficial if you are comfortable with moving on the rock outside on a top rope before stepping up and learning to lead climb on the "sharp end". If you would like to develop your outdoor rock climbing movement skills. See our Afternoon Summer Sessions and Climbing movement skills programs.

Just like other areas of our lives, we can mitigate the spread of the virus with the use of masks.
Masks are required when we are in close proximity for example an instruction situation or at a multi pitch station. Because we are not in a confined space and we have the benefit of fresh air and the great outdoors we can remove our masks once the 2m proximity rule has been passed. This means climbing without a mask although having it in close for when doing partner checks, for example, or any other close proximity situations occurs. Please see our extensive COVID risk management plan on the About page, in the main menu.
All participants must read, understand, and sign a Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement.
