NOTE: The class begins with introductory information in Maxcy 104 and then moves to the Field House for actual training and rock climbing.

This beginner’s workshop will give you the basics of indoor rock climbing. Topics covered include: safety at the wall, putting on a climbing harness, basic knots, climbing equipment, climbing calls, belaying, and basic climbing techniques. Although you will be encouraged to climb the wall, participants are not required to climb.
