Browse upcoming Climbing activities You must be a basic or intermediate climbing course graduate, student, or have equivalency to register for a climb.
Are you interested in learning to lead moderate (5.4-5.8) rock routes using traditional gear (no bolts)? Are you interested in enhancing your current trad skill level? We are developing a new course to build our climbing curriculum and we have you in mind.
This crag course will cover placement of passive and active protection, building anchors, and setting up rappels, as well as hanging belays, swinging leads, and crack-climbing
techniques.
We'll be outside at some of the local crags (e.g., Tieton, Vantage and Leavenworth), but we'll get started with video instruction, gym climbing and slideshows. You should be able to top rope 5.8 before this course and/or be familiar with sport climb techniques, and have an understanding, at the beginning intermediate level, of trad gear and anchor building.
Trip Dates: April 30th, May 14th and June 11th. For more Course info, contact leader Mark Lemon @ 253-314-6998 or marklemon@centurytel.net
