Ropes 101 – Kitchener

Our Ropes 101 course is designed for climbers who are looking to improve their climbing technique on top ropes/autobelays. You’ll get lots of time practicing movement on the wall with one of our instructors. This course will NOT teach you how to belay.

The 2 hour program provides climbers with basic training to take your climbing to new heights. You will be in a group of up to 4 other climbers, allowing some 1-on-1 time with our coach. Please arrive 10 minutes early with water and athletic wear, ready to climb.

The $45+tax includes rental shoes but the charge DOES NOT include your admission for the day (so you will need to have a day pass, punch card, or membership).

Spaces are limited; if we are at capacity please call us to be added to a wait list.
This program is for climbers who are belay certified and are comfortable belaying and climbing on top rope. Participants must be 16+.

MEET OUR COACH

Hello, my name is Zack Mason, and I’m a coach for Bouldering 101.  I started climbing back in 2011, when Grand River Rocks opened, and I fell in love with bouldering. Shortly after, I joined GRR’s youth team. I am proficient in Olympic weightlifting having earned a silver medal in the 2017 Junior National Championships, and a gold medal in the 2019 Senior Provincial Championships. I love the playful and problem solving nature of climbing. While I mainly climb indoors I do have some outdoor experience climbing at Red Rocks Park. I have a passion for climbing, coaching, and growing the climbing community! I look forward to introducing you to this wonderful sport!
