Establish or expand your outdoor climbing opportunities by learning to set up top rope anchors with natural protection, such as trees and boulders. Your instructor will demonstrate, discuss and supervise while you gain hands on experience with basic anchor principals.
Topics include gear inspection, route selection, top site safety, basic knots, anchor construction and anchor evaluation. Participants who have completed this lesson should then be able to build their own top rope anchors in the many of our regional climbing areas with basic techniques. Instructors will provide the necessary equipment, or we can use yours if you would prefer to practice with your own gear.
$79 for Members
$89 for Non-Members
Lessons are held from 2pm - 5:30pm, following a separate Outdoor Experience climbing event in the morning. Other times and locations are available on request.
