the essential introductory climbing day

Climb in the morning and still have time to hike Zion in the afternoon! Half-Day Basic Rock is our most popular climbing event for both beginners and families. We highly recommend this trip as an introduction to rock climbing for anyone who has not climbed outside before. For those seeking to build a solid foundation in fundamental techniques and knowledge, a Full-Day course will help you gain competency in basic technical skills and body movement. All courses are experiential; students learn belaying and climbing by practicing these skills under the careful eye of an instructor. At the end of the course, students walk away with a concrete skills and visions of future climbing pathways!
