Description

Join us to learn the fundamentals of Sport Lead Climbing and begin a new chapter in your climbing journey! In this class you’ll learn rope management, belaying a lead climber, how to take and catch a lead fall, and about the equipment particular to Lead Climbing. This clinic is designed as an indoor introduction to Lead Climbing and is structured to teach you everything you need to pass the Peak Lead Test. This class is great for any climber who has mastered top-rope belaying and is ready to unlock the rest of the gym by lead climbing!

Cost: $60 for members | $90 for guests

Additional Notes: Lead climbing is inherently more dangerous than top rope. Participants should be mentally and physically prepared to take on that risk.

Top Rope Belay certification at Peak is required for this class.

This class is for ages 16 and up. If you are between the ages of 13-15 and wish to take this class please email instruction@peakexperiences.com BEFORE signing up. Thank You!

Gear and Rentals

Participants will need a harness, climbing shoes and a belay device for the class. It is recommended to take the class using the belay device you plan to mainly use to lead belay. If participants need any of this equipment, we have harnesses, shoes, and ATCs/Gri Gris for rent at the front desk.

Participants are welcome to use their own dynamic climbing rope if they have one. If not, no worries! Peak will provide dynamic climbing ropes for the class.

Lead Testing Info

Participants may take the Lead Test starting the following day after taking the class. We require waiting at least one day after receiving instruction before testing as this allows time to ensure that all the information from the class was retained.

No appointment is necessary for testing. Just let the front desk staff know upon arriving that you would like to take the Lead Test.

Participants may independently take the Lead Climb Only or Lead Belay Only Tests if they choose. Testing lead belayers will need someone to climb for their test. Climbers need to be already certified to lead climb or simultaneously testing.

Group Auto Belay Event: Deposit

Get your crew on the wall with the use of Auto Belay devices! Auto Belays are great tools that allow participants to climb “roped” walls without a human belayer. Instead the climber clips into the Auto Belay device, which connects to the top of the wall. If the climber falls or finishes the climb, the auto belay slowly lowers the climber to the ground.

Prepare your body, mind, and spirit with a centering flow focused on relaxation and release. Each pose flows smoothly with your breath and movement encourages the awakening of your muscles. This flow routine is suitable for all levels of practice.

Do you love climbing but find it tough to keep your feet on the wall when climbing overhangs? Maybe your arms get tired by the time you reach the top of a boulder problem? This class is designed for new-to-intermediate climbers who are interested in leveling up their climbing technique. Topics include footwork, hand placement and grip, hip and shoulder rotations, balance, and more. You will walk away from this class knowing how to move more efficiently on the wall!

Cost: $25 for members | $50 for guests

Have you been climbing for a while and find yourself plateauing despite your best efforts? Are you looking for some critique and guidance to level up your climbing technique? This class is designed for that intermediate climber looking to break into those harder climbs in the gym. You'll have a quick climbing assessment to identify strengths and weaknesses to start the class and then get some hands-on practice dialing in more technical movement on the wall. To make the most of your time, this class will be taught in the bouldering cave versus on ropes to allow for immediate feedback and critique.

Once everyone is ready, the real adventure begins as guests take to the climbing walls. With a range of routes available, from beginner-friendly to more advanced challenges, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The use of Auto Belays ensures that participants can climb at their own pace, descending whenever they’re ready.

After an exhilarating hour of climbing on Auto Belays, the excitement kicks up a notch as staff members begin to belay climbers on the famous rainbow ladder. This colorful and vibrant ladder is not just a climb but a true test of balance, coordination, and determination. Each level presents a new challenge, getting taller and wobblier as climbers ascend. The cheerful colors of the ladder add an extra layer of fun, making it a favorite attraction for kids and adults alike.
