The beginner rock climbing class provides all the basic skills needed to climb indoors or outdoors in a top-rope setting. Once you have completed this course, you will be better prepared to pass an indoor gym test.

Learn safety partner checks, how to belay properly, different devices used to belay, proper way to tie yourself to the rope for climbing and climbing technique… bla bla bla

Back to the fun stuff… pack your camera, phone, or GoPro – because once you get outside, the stage will be yours to get the most EPIC camera shot!

Climb ON!

Many of us enjoy trad muti-pitch routes so much we wish we could spend more time on them. Well, if the route is not busy and you can find a cool big ledge on its side, why not give it a shot. Just make sure you are prepared with enought items you will need, such as; a head lamp, food, snacks, emergency blaket or jacket, plenty of water, and if you are not using a tent, pack all your thing in your bag to prevent critters from chewing on your gear. Learn about the animals that live in the area and weather conditions, before you decide on spending the night of course. Build an anchor and make sure you and your partner stay tied in to the master point, even when sleeping, with enough slack to move around the area without falling over.

So what is on your climbers bucket list?

Stay safe.

Ever taken a photo that was meant to be great, but then you realize it was an epic fail? This photo could have been magical, had these three people been climbing individually. All together, as we see here, makes for an unforgetable memory.

If you have epic fail photos you would like to share with us, send them our way to socialmedia@rockclimbeveryday.com with a brief description for a chance to be featured in our blog.

Even though her arms were tired and hands were sore, she was able to thrive on the last climb of the day. Great job Austin!

Here we have Kevin giving us a quick demonstration of an attentive partner and a not-so-attentive one.

One the first photo he is prepared to jump in the air and give his partner a dynamic belay (soft catch) on vertical wall. On the second photo he is demonstrating a non-dynamic way to belay, which during a fall can cause your climber to break an ankle or worse.

You can find more tips and tricks on the article 25+ Ways To Be A Better Belayer written by Julie Ellison for Climbing.com.

Stay safe.

Chris working the route on sport lead. He is looking for and calculating the next set of moves before reaching the next bolt. I believe he mentioned something about “Jurassic Park” music going on in his head at that moment… Haha… Climb on!
