Sport Climbing 202 reviews the 201 class material in an outdoor environment. After hands-on practice, a few additional topics will be introduced to help get you out of tricky situations that you may encounter.

Participants will be "mock leading" with a top rope backup while they practice. Expect to be tested on multiple anchor situations at the top of the climbing route under the direct supervision of the instructor.
