Bouldering involves routes that are close to the ground without the need for a harness or a rope. A thick crash pad or padded flooring provides some protective for falls, but falling the wrong why can still lead to certain injuries.

Bouldering is a great way to build skill because you can focus solely on using your strength and balance to keep yourself on the wall. Novices appreciate the simplicity of it; skilled climbers like the challenge of more difficult routes.

Typically, every roped climber clinging to a rock face or gym wall has a partner performing a critical role on the ground. The belayer skillfully handles the rope and can be relied upon to catch a fall every time the need arises.

Belaying is a foundational skill that climbing classes teach early on and instruction from a qualified teacher is essential.

We offer classes that teach all types of belay, along with a wide range of additional climbing fundamentals.
