We require that that climbers take a Climbing Anchors Course before taking our Rappelling course. This foundational course will help you improve your skills and prepare you for the technical ropework that happens at the top of a climb.
Our Gym to Crag Course expands on the anchoring and rappelling skill set, and will help you take your climbing to the outdoors.
