Belaying is the process of securing and safeguarding a climber by using a rope to hold the climber's weight if they fall. Learning to belay allows climbers to use all of the top rope stations in the gym, providing more combing opportunities than just the auto belays and bouldering. Belaying is an important part of the climbing chain of safety and one of the most important skills that any climber must master.

This class is a great option if you are new to climbing or need a refresher on belaying. This is also a great option for family members who would like to belay for each other.

Time spent one-on-one with an instructor is one of the surest ways to enhance your climbing skillset. Your initial session will involve an evaluation of current skills, ranging from footwork, and body positioning, to mental fortitude and strength. This assessment will allow us to identify what areas of your technique need to be focused on. Private instruction can be used to achieve any goal, whether it's improving bouldering skills or sport climbing strategies, increasing your power and endurance or refining your footwork and body mechanics. Anything you need help with or are interested in accomplishing, our instructors can help you reach those goals efficiently and effectively.
