Lead Climbing Class $85-$100

Learn how to safely lead climb with one of our well-trained Stoneworks instructors.  This course is designed for those who already know how to top-rope belay and who desire to take that next step towards more advanced rock climbing. The class is focused for outdoor lead climbing but will give you the skills for indoor leading as well.

We will teach you how to properly lead belay with a Grigri or ATC, clip safely, set up a top rope anchor, manage the rope, catch a lead fall & take a lead fall, discuss different scenarios that happen in outdoor lead climbing and then educate the climber on how to safely handle each situation.

We let you practice your newly learned skills with the safety of an auto-belay and then test you with a “live” climb on one of our easiest routes.

Must be top rope belay certified in a gym and have at least 6 months of active belaying experience. You must have your own belay device, climbing shoes and harness. Having a PAS is recommended but not required. The class is approximately 3.5 - 4 hours long, depending on class size.
