Belay Class

Learn to belay so that you and your climbing partner(s) can top-rope climb in our facility. Once the course is completed successfully, you will be able to practice belay for the rest of that same day. However, you are NOT belay certified just yet. Upon your next visit, you will have to officially test out for top rope belay certification. If you pass on your second visit, you & your climbing partner will then be able to climb & belay on top rope on your own within our facility every time you come in moving forward. We require that you test out on the next visit after you've taken the course in order to be sure that all information is retained for safe climbing practices. This course is required to use the top-rope walls without reserved staff assistance in advance. If you are interested in climbing with friends, family, or children this is a great way to learn the basics so you can enjoy roped climbing any time on your own.
