Climbing Skills Series | Top Rope Setup - Mountaineers Seattle Program Center

This parent skills session will be where we "put it all together" or a mock crag day. We will start at the rope cage, pack up gear, and head outside to the South Plaza wall. If we have brave volunteers, we will lead climb and lead belay easy routes to set up a top rope. Beyond top rope climbing and belaying, we'll have folks practice cleaning and lowering off of fixed anchors. 

This progression will help parents learn what all goes into a crag day in terms of prep work, set up, and tear down while making sure everyone is safe and no gear is left on the wall. 

Google Classroom

This is a 5 part climbing skills series for clubs parents with an optional 6th session. To participate in the skills series we require that you attend ALL of the required climbing skills workshops since they build on each other. 

Please review the resources here in the Google Classroom (link can also be found under "Program Materials" on the course page). We encourage you to practice these skills between sessions with fellow parents taking the skills series. Reference the program center calendar to see if the north or south plazas are available for practicing.
