Intro To Climbing II - $49

Part II: Expand Your Skills

Intro To Climbing II builds on the essentials in the Intro to Climbing I class. You will learn different climbing movements and techniques, get an introduction to a variety of belay devices, learn how to properly fit climbing shoes and harnesses, and tips on how to avoid climbing injuries.

Facility Waiver

All participants (climbing, fitness or yoga) must have a signed waiver. Minors (17 years and younger) must have a waiver signed by one of their parents or their legal guardian (sorry, aunts and uncles and older siblings, you've got to have Mom and Dad do it). You can also fill it in when you come at one of our waiver terminals, but filling it out online before you come in will make your first check-in easier.

You may want to bring a water bottle and/or snack to the gym, too, (though we do have a water fountain and bottle filler available, as well as refreshments for sale). Classes include all climbing equipment needed, (climbing shoes, harness, chalk, belay device, and lead ropes for lead climbing).
I have a disability. Can I still learn to climb?
Yes! Climbers with a wide range of disabilities climb at the Stronghold. We have a very active adaptive climbing club that meets from 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM every Wednesday.
