Descriptions and dates are below.

Handholds 101

“How do I hold that round thing? My fingers don’t fit and I can’t possibly pull myself up on that sprinkle on the wall!” Don’t worry, you’ll learn to get there with this class. Identifying holds and knowing how to grip there is an integral part of everyone’s climbing experience and a great place to start if you’re new to climbing.

Footwork 101

Listen very carefully to the sounds of your favourite climber…chances are, their feet are not making a single sound, simply dancing delicately and precisely up the wall.
