Ready to take your climbing to the next level? This class is a laid-back, hands-on intro to sport lead climbing, where you’ll learn the ropes in a supportive outdoor setting. We’ll start with the basics on the ground and build up to trying things out on a mock lead, so you can get comfortable with the skills before putting it all together on real climbs. It’s all about learning, practicing, and having fun while gaining the confidence to move beyond top rope.
