BASIC ROCK CLIMBING II
This one day seminar is offered every Sunday and selected weekdays

All classes meet at 8:00 a.m. and they end approximately 3:30 - 4:30 p.m.

"For the indoor gym climber or for the individual with some formal rock climbing instruction"

After some stretching, bouldering and a review of the Basic Rock Climbing I fundamentals, it's back to the ropes for some top-rope protected free climbing and rappelling. As you continue to refine the basics, you'll encounter new and varied climbing opportunities and be exposed to more challenging terrain. We will focus on an assortment of face, crack, lieback and stemming techniques.

Knowing how to get down from the top of a rock safely is a very important skill. You will learn rappelling skills (descending via a rope) and practice them on rock up to 80 feet high. Students will begin to make and assess their your own individual anchor placements using modern camming devices and various types of passive nuts. This is just another breathtaking day in Joshua Tree National Park to remember for a lifetime. It takes a skilled writer to convey the true feelings and emotions that an experience like this will leave you. Experience this place for yourself to capture the true essence of this desert wonderland.

Cost: $120 (Cost includes all climbing equipment)
