Seneca Rocks Climbing School - From Gym to Crag

We often have students who arrive with amazing movement skills as well as competency in belaying and basic knot tying as Intermediate Course Photo the result of climbing indoors.  What they need are many of the skills specific to climbing outside.  Even climbers who have done a little top rope climbing outside still lack many of the skills covered in our Comprehensive Basic (CB).  This course is an accelerated version of our CB that focuses on making the student familiar with techniques used in multi-pitch climbing and rappelling.  Because students come to this course with top rope experience either indoors or out they are often able to learn and practice techniques beyond the realm of our CB.

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 From Gym to Crag Course as 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.
