Recommended Reading

This course is conducted entirely outdoors in a two or three day format.

It is worth stating that the amount of information presented in our courses can be overwhelming.  While we do offer the Comprehensive Basic as a two day course students usually walk away with a better working knowledge of the techniques when they take the three day version. 

All necessary equipment is provided.  If you have your own equipment and wish to use it, you can after your guide has determined its' appropriateness and safe condition.

Arthur,

Thanks again for a terrific weekend of climbing.  When we got up Monday morning, I found your purple bicolor rope and one of Diane's cinnamon rolls in my pack.  It seemed only right that we return at least one of those two things to you.  So we did.  The shop was closed so we left the rope on the porch. 

Then we split the cinnamon roll.

See you next month!

Anne and Victor
