Gym to Crag Beginning Rock Climbing Class in Action!

On April 15 and 16, 2023, the Technical Climbing Subcommittee held the first class of the season. Approximately 14 participants attended. There usually is a 1:3 instructor:participant ratio so thanks to all of our climbing instructors! The Gym to Crag Beginner course teaches top-rope set-up, rappelling, and various knots used in climbing. This is intensive and involves two full days of progressive classes. Over the course of the weekend, a number of technical
abilities such as important knots, belay technique, negotiating the edge of the cliff, top-rope anchors and setup, and rappel setup and practice were taught. Thanks to our leaders Rich Redding and Patrick Bender, our instructors and our participants! Climb on! #climbri
