Introductory Outdoor Rock Climbing Lessons

If you are curious and want to try outdoor rock climbing, this beginner’s course is for you. You will have a great time climbing a cliff either at the beautiful Niagara Escarpment or the breathtaking Squamish area. You may also get your family out for a day of fun and bonding on the rocks too. Our certified instructors will cover all the essential lessons such as climbing risk management, equipment, knots, movement skills, belaying technique, rock climbing terminology and communication, and more as can be seen in the course itinerary.
