Fundamentals of Climbing

Build a strong foundation for your climbing journey. 
In this class, you’ll learn the core knowledge and techniques every climber needs to progress confidently and safely. You’ll learn how to top rope belay—a critical skill that provides access to our roped climbing areas beyond the auto belay systems. 

Our certified Climbing Wall Instructors will also guide you through key topics such as footwork, body positioning, route reading, and the types of holds you'll encounter. You'll also get hands-on practice with different belay devices and safe bouldering falls. 

This course is designed for both beginners and those looking to refresh their skills.
