Once you have mastered the basics, there is still a wealth of information needed before you consider yourself a competent climber or take the ultimate step of learning to lead climb.  Our Intermediate Course introduces this information in a very engaging high mileage format.  If you want to improve your skills and competency in a multi-pitch environment, this is the course for you!  During the course the student takes more responsibility as a member of the climbing team.  Advanced concepts related to anchoring, belaying, rappelling, and rope management are taught.  Students use these new skills to move more efficiently through the vertical world while maintaining a high level of safety.

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 Intermediate Course 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.

MORE DETAILS

Dear everyone connected with Seneca climbing,

We just returned from our travel to West Virginia and I must say the highlight of the trip was the day spent at nelson rocks with Massey - Massey must be commended for his care, professionalism and his instruction ability.  He represents your organization in a professional and competent manner.  I have since shared our video with everyone we've come across and I’ve recommended your climbing school to everyone we've talked to.  I especially recommended you to my brother and two nephews.  The day at nelson was absolutely perfect thanks to Massey and he is to be commended.  Thank you all again, and Massey in particular. 

Sincerely,

Cheryl l long.
