Introduction to Traditional Rock Climbing

Introduction to Traditional Rock Climbing focuses on climbing outside on real rock.  The course covers knots, rock climbing equipment, belaying, rappelling, and movement on rock.  A classroom session ( when available) provides a comprehensive overview and we have two field sessions. 

Our first session at Rocky Butte Park in Portland gives us a chance for hands-on practice for all of our skills.  The next day we head out to Horse Thief Butte in the Scenic Columbia River Gorge for a day of one pitch climbing on solid basalt.  Includes instructors, transportation to Horse Thief Butte, and climbing equipment. 

Price: 1 person - $700, 2-3 persons - $350 each, 3-6 persons - $250 each.  Includes instructors, round-trip transportation from the Portland area, and individual and group rock climbing equipment.
