Beginning Rock Climbing

Beginner School is an introduction to the basics of technical rockclimbing, including equipment, knots, and safety procedures. Students will rappel, climb (top rope), and learn basic climbing techniques. Those who competently complete this school will be eligible to rent a harness, shoes, belay device, and helmet from ORGT.

The Beginner Climbing School consists of one class session and one trip; you must be able to attend both. Please note that trips tend to begin at 7 or 8 am and often don't return until 10pm. They are long days, but we expect that you will have fun and make friends! Participants are often required to carpool.
