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+.



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!
