Rock Climbing

4-Day Total Rock

Total Rock is the absolute package to begin top-roping, rappelling, sport leading, multi-pitch and placement protection lead climbing. It combines Rock 2,3,4 & 5 training modules.

Total Rock gives you the edge to become a complete rock climber in four intensive days of training. Master the skills to safely approach a cliff edge in order to build, rappel, belay, communicate and climb from your own simple and complex top-rope anchor systems. Learn about clipping bolts, sport lead anchors and threads, placement protection lead climbing, single and multi-pitch placement protection anchors, single and multi-pitch lead strategies, lead and top-down belays, rock climbing movement skills, multi-pitch retreat methods while using advanced rappel systems, basic rescue techniques and more. This intensive course will give you the confidence to begin top roping, sport and placement protection lead climbing single and multi-pitch routes outdoors. Our Rock Rescue course would be the next logical step in training.
