Outdoor Climbing Courses

Your intro into outdoor climbing course will start with a safety briefing and how the day will look. You will have a short walk to the climbing crag, where you will need to help with carrying ropes and gear. Once at the crag, your instructor will set up the ropes and you will start the course. The first part of the course will focus on climbing and belaying. You will have time to do some climbs with your climbing partner.

We will then break for lunch and stretch.

After this point, we will move over to another location a short distance away where we can focus on descending on a climbing rope, also known as rappelling. The remainder of the course will focus on building this skill.

The climbing crag is located a short drive from Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. The exact location will be sent out in your booking email.
