Are you interested in learning the exciting and exhilarating sport of climbing? It is surely an activity that is adventurous and awe-inspiring. Learning how to climb is not something you can learn on your own or through reading. Taking a class on climbing is the best (and really the only) way to learn how to enjoy this sport.
Teachers will have the know-how and experience to teach you the basics for protection, safety and technique. In addition, youll learn first aid, health risks involved and what to wear on your climb.
Climbing is a general term for the many types of climbing and in class youll learn about the different styles. Most climbs are a combination of styles while some are specific to a location or climate. Instructors provide first hand experience on most, if not all of the styles and theyll be able to give you the pros and cons of each one.
Bouldering is a style of climbing that is great for a beginner as it will allow you to practice your techniques on a small scale. Youll scale a rock face or boulder a few meters high and practice your various techniques so youre prepared for higher climbs.
