Climbing Lessons
Introductory Lessons
This two-hour lesson is our basic level of instruction—if you’ve never climbed on your own before, this is the best start. Participants will learn how to put on a harness, tie in to the rope, and belay, or manage the safety rope for a climber. After taking this class, participants should be able to pass our top-rope belay certification test, and have access to all areas of the facility. Includes all equipment and a day pass. Rates are $60 for one person (private), $50 each for two people, or $40 each for three or more. Appropriate for ages 12 and up. Call 65-PETRA to reserve a time.
Technique Lessons
This two-hour class stresses the fundamentals of climbing technique and movement. After taking this course, participants should be able to freely converse in the language of climbing, improve their overall climbing movement, and execute some fancier moves. This is a great way to break into the next level of difficulty, whether that’s 5.2 or 5.10. Rates are $60 for one person (private), $50 each for two people, or $40 each for three or more. Call 65-PETRA to reserve a time.
Lead Climbing
This course helps ease the transition between being on a "toprope", and being on the "sharp end" of a rope. Starting from the comfort of a toprope, participants will learn the basic principles of lead sport climbing and belaying. After the basic skills have been practiced, the participants will take the lead under the guidance of an instructor. Participants should be able to earn our indoor lead certification after completion.Rates are $60 for one person (private), $50 each for two people, or $40 each for three or more. Call 65-PETRA to reserve a time.
