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. 

While we usually hold this class through Portland Community College and Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District, we can also conduct rock climbing classes for individuals or groups.                    

Price: 1 person - $700, 2-3 persons - $350 each, 3-6 persons - $250 each.  Includes lead and assistant guides, door-to-door transportation from the Portland area, and individual and group rock climbing equipment.

Scheduled class: October 18 & 19, 2008
