School of Rock Introduction

Intro to Climbing Package

Ideal for Brand New Climbers

Our Intro to Climbing Package is for brand new climbers and includes our Climbing Technique Class + Learn to Belay class + (2) consecutive Tuesday night climbing sessions at 7pm – all for only $50.

These classes will help you become more comfortable with all that our facility as to offer – from auto belays, to belaying with a partner, basic climbing techniques, and climbing terminology to help build confidence, improve your skills, and connect with other ÜG climbers.

Technique Class

Technique is More Important
Than Strength!

Our Climbing Technique Class is ONLY $10 and ideal for those that are either brand new to climbing or those looking to improve their techniques to avoid muscling their way up the wall.

Learn to Belay

Ready to Climb
With a Partner

Our auto-belays are great, but we want to help you take advantage of all our other roped routes in the facility. Our two-hour Learn to Belay class will teach you all the technical skills from knots to using a belay device so you can start climbing with a partner on top rope. The skills in this class will help you pass a Belay Test with us or at any other climbing facility.

FREE for ÜG Members.

Learn to Lead

For 5.10 (or higher)
Climbers

Lead climbing gives you options to climb on steeper indoor terrain where it isn’t safe to set a top-rope. The challenge here is not the climbing, but lead belaying. There are so many unique details as a lead belayer that you have to be constantly accessing to make sure that if/when your climber falls, you can give them a comfortable catch.
