Have you conquered the top ropes at Central Rock to a point where 5.9 is starting to feel easy and are ready for a new challenge? Learn how to lead climb in our Lead Climbing Class!
Lead climbing is a more advanced style of climbing (similar to what you’d experience outdoors) that involves pulling your rope up behind you (rather than handing from above) and clipping your rope into fixed gear on the wall. The class will consist of climbing 5-6 routes in the 5.7-5.9 range, practicing clipping and lead belaying.
