BASIC
ROCK CLIMBING INSTRUCTION II
This one day of rock climbing session is offered most Sunday's.
--- Individual registrations welcome ---
Classes meet at 8:00 a.m. and end approximately 3:00 - 4:00 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 Instruction
I fundamentals, it's back to the ropes for some top-rope protected free
climbing and rappelling. As you continue to refine the rock climbing basics, you'll
encounter new and varied climbing opportunities and be exposed to more
challenging terrain. We will climb an assortment of routes utilizing some of your newly developed climbing skills; face climbing, smearing, edging, palming, hand jamming, liebacking, chimney,
stemming and other opposing preasure techniques. You will not be forced to climb higher then you must but will be highly encouraged to push past your comfort level.
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
own individual and traditional anchor type 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. Experience this place for yourself to capture the
true essence of this desert wonderland.
Cost: $150 (Cost includes all climbing equipment and climbing instruction)
Tipping your guide is customary when you are pleased with their performance.
