Learn to Lead

Saturday April 28 – Sunday April 29 2018

8:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Cost per participant – $375.00

This two-day course will introduce climbers to lead climbing, including knots, belaying, anchors, and placing gear. We will also cover rope management, placement of directional anchors, route finding, and rock quality assessments. Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides will provide any necessary equipment including shoes, harnesses, helmets, belay devices, and protection if necessary. We do recommend climbers bring their own gear if possible to get comfortable with their equipment. Climbers will learn proper climbing and clipping technique through mock leading. Climbers must be able to confidently climb 5.8 top-rope in a gym. We will also provide lunch, snacks, and bottled water.
