Climbing instruction covers the absolute essentials for safely climbing steep rock and is a valuable course for those wishing to pursue mountaineering.

Instruction begins with extensive ground school where you will become intimately familiar with the climbing equipment, tying knots, anchoring, belaying, communication signals and climbing lingo, rating system and climbing technique.
