WHO IS THIS FOR
This workshop is ideal for climbers, boulderers, or anyone who is already climbing regularly and looking to take their skills to the next level.
OUR GUIDES
Our awesome guides are highly trained, fully accredited, and totally stoked! They’ll provide you with all the gear you’ll need - harness, helmet, climbing shoes, and all other safety equipment. All you’ll need is a water bottle and snacks, appropriate clothing, and enclosed shoes for getting around the crag.
Your guides will also take care of all the ropes and rigging, so you can leave the technical stuff to them. That said, if you’re interested in learning how to construct your own climbing and abseiling anchors, our 2-day Top Rope Course is the ideal next step.
DURATION
This workshop runs for 4 hours. If it's an evening class the time is from 5pm to 9pm. If it's a morning class the time is 7:30am to 11:30am. Check the calendar date for the correct time.

We've designed our 101 workshop for those that are brand new to the world of climbing. If you have climbed indoors before but are not able to surpass intermediate climbs at your gym, we recommend completing workshop 101 first.
