Students will learn basic safety and commands of rock climbing. Students will learn the most common rock-climbing knots. They will also learn proper climbing technique and the type of indoor holds. Most of the class time will be spent climbing. Past students are welcome to enroll and will have the opportunity to build on prior knowledge towards the end of course.
*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
