Ropes 101 – Kitchener

Our Ropes 101 course is designed for climbers who love climbing on top rope and are looking for guidance on how to improve.  You’ll get lots of time practicing movement on the wall with one of our instructors. This course is geared towards people who have their belay certification and are comfortable top rope climbing.

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+.
