Belay (Part 2 of 3)

You will learn to tie into a harness and to "belay." When climbing, you are attached by an extremely strong nylon rope to a harness around your waist, connected to a pulley above, then to a partner on the ground. The weight of either person makes no difference; they will be anchored to the floor, watching you, & removing slack from the rope. This process is called belaying. In your first lesson you will learn to belay and to climb.

Don't have a partner? No problem. We offer special lessons for individuals Tues. & Wed. at 6:30pm. Also, Mon.-Thurs., 6-9pm, a staff member is available to belay you. Of course, you can come in anytime. But, we have extra staff on these days. Also, you can try bouldering or use our partners page to find a partner. Are you ready? Let's get climbing!
