Rock Climbing 3 - Technique & Intermediate Routes
Do you have climbing experience? Have you taken our Climbing I and Climbing II courses? Do you want to continue your climbing adventure outside? Then this is the next course for you! Experience a variety of routes and difficulties, with instructions on technique and take your abilities to the next level. In this 4-hour clinic, we’ll visit some moderate climbing and bouldering areas at Castle Rock State Park and help you develop the footwork and finesse needed to become a better climber.

Without ropes, we’ll tackle some of the smaller rocks of the park. Climbing on these short (less than 15 feet) rocks with pads to cushion our falls enables our instructors to coach you on specific individual movements. This will also give you the opportunity to repetitively practice these techniques, allowing them to become more a part of your natural individual style.

This class is ideal for climbers with anywhere from 1-6 months experience of regular gym climbing or outdoor climbing and would like to have more adventures on real rock. If you’re climbing 5.9 to easy 5.10, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll give you individualized instruction and technique pointers to help you take your climbing to the next level.
