Climbing is natural - this does not mean that it always comes naturally, good technique is critical to success. Our instructors break down climbing movements to it's critical components and we use enthusiasm and encouragement to help participants succeed.
The Introductory Camps focus on the basics of climbing movement and equipment - knots, harnesses and belay device nomenclature, usage, and techniques.
The ratio of participants to instructors are kept to a low ratio of 4:1 so that all participants receive plenty of individual attention and are able to progress at their own pace.
We'll start off the week going over the fundementals and climb indoors at the Inner Wall, in New Paltz.
