OPEN Lead Belay and Climb Lesson

Class Details

In two three-hour sessions you will gain the knowledge and techniques needed to lead climb indoors (all about gear, belaying, catching and taking falls, clipping, and more!), and will have time to build competence and refine your skills under the instruction of our certified staff. This lesson type allows other folks to book in too, which lowers the cost for all! There may be up to 4 individuals (2 pairs) per each open class.

REQUIREMENTS:

• The lead course is intended for experienced climbers who are comfortable climbing 5.10 and higher

• Climbers must provide their own harness, dynamic climbing rope and Petzl GriGri with locking carabiner

• Climbers must be at least 16 years of age and have no more than a 50lb weight difference with their partner (unless using an Ohm - please ask our staff about this if needed)

• Climbers must also demonstrate climbing safety and knowledge to the instructor at the beginning of the lesson

• Must be top rope belay certified at the Grotto

Note there is a minimum of 2 people required for this class to run.
