We had the priviledge of guiding 2 first time climbers on an amazing day of climbing at Moores Wall on Saturday May 9. The forecast was calling for rain, but we decided to test out our luck, and we’re glad we did because it was a beautiful day.

The objective of the day was to teach Brentley and Michael the basics of belaying, rappelling, and most importantly…climbing! They both had experience climbing in gyms in the past, and were excited to be climbing outdoors. Read the rest of this entry »

Taking this class taught me a lot and confirmed things I had already been in the process of learning. Even though I have much more to learn it allowed me to feel confident, to go with my partner, and climb outside at my current level.

Class Information

Do you long to climb outdoors? Are you a gym climber who is looking to learn how to climb outside and you are ready to take that next step? Are you a new climber wanting to refine your skills? Often one of the biggest challenges that people face when they have a desire to climb outside, is that they don’t know where to begin, and they don’t have the proper skills and technique.

Our Climb Outside! Climbing Classes are designed to provide you with the knowledge and technical skills needed to pursue a lifetime of climbing outdoors. Our Asheville NC based class takes place over the course of a 2 day weekend, at Looking Glass Rock in Brevard NC.

Topics covered include

• Route selection

• Anchor building

• Knot tying

• Rope management

• Rappelling

• Rescue techniques

• Belaying and supporting a leader

• And More!
