Intro to Climbing

About this class

This 90-minute introductory class teaches first-time climbers the three core types of climbing available at The Stronghold: autobelays, top-rope belaying, and bouldering, with certified instructors guiding participants through equipment use, safety techniques, and fundamental movement on the wall. Students learn to tie a figure-eight knot, communicate with a belayer, use autobelays safely, and practice proper falling technique in the bouldering area. The class runs on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays and is open to anyone 12 and older, making it an excellent entry point into the climbing community.
