  • For Beginners (Getting Started Series)

6pm-9pm at Mountaineers Program Center

We'll start with a tutorial on how to make tape-gloves.  Then we'll have three different stations setup for top-roping:

  • Top-roping on the Basalt Columns, to practice climbing a hand crack
  • Top-roping on the South Plaza Climbing Wall west, to practice on the artificial finger cracks there
  • Top-roping on the friction slabs in the north plaza, to practice friction technique

In addition to our usual gear, I'd recommend bringing rock shoes for this, instead of our usual climbing in boots.
