The lead climbing lesson takes two, 2 hour sessions. The first session for all participants is Lead Class 101. We recommend a minimum of 6 months climbing experience plus the ability to climb 5.9 very comfortably before signing up for this course.

Participants must have a partner to take this class. Please make sure to register your partner or to bring a partner with you on the day of the class who has already been lead certified at Rock Spot.

The cost of this class covers both Lead Climbing 101 and Lead Climbing 102.

Participants will learn how to descend from a top site anchor using a variety of safety backups.

While Rappel 101 can occasionally be found on the fixed schedule, it is most often set up as a private lesson so that the class can be tailored to your needs. To book a private lesson, please contact guiding@rockspotclimbing.com

Participants who have completed the Sport Climbing 201 and 202 classes may be able to practice skills during the Rumeny Trip at the instructor's discretion.

Establish or expand your outdoor climbing opportunities by learning to set up top rope anchors that utilize clifftop trees and boulders. Your instructor will discuss, demonstrate, and supervise while you gain hands on experience with basic anchor principals.

Topics include gear selection, inspection, route finding, top site safety, basic knots, anchor construction and anchor evaluation. Following this lesson, participants should then be able to build their own top rope anchors at many of our local climbing areas using basic techniques.
For comprehensive top rope anchor building skills, supplement with our other lessons including Self Rescue 101, Sport Climbing 201, Traditional Protection 101, Rappel 101, Top Rope Anchors 202, and Self Rescue 302.

Learn to inspect, install, evaluate, test, and retrieve traditional climbing gear such as wired chocks, spring loaded camming devices and more. Analyze the rock for strength, compatibility with different pieces of gear, and security of gear placements. Connect multiple pieces to form an anchor.
