Day 1:
The intent of this day would be either an introduction or review of the basics of outdoor rock climbing. Whether you are new to the outdoor rock scene or a seasoned gym climber, if you have no or very limited outdoor rock climbing experience, then this day is for you.
CONTENT: Equipment use, hazard ID, emergency plan, knots (figure 8 and stopper knot), belaying with ATC or grigri, climbing commands, scenarios to avoid, rock climbing movement session.
Day 2: The intent of this day is to build off the previous day's learning and add more essential skills like learning how to build anchors with bolts, hot to properly clean anchors and lower, introduction to rappelling and a continuation of your rock climbing movement skills (aka more climbing!). You may feel like skipping the first day is appropriate, but it is encouraged to take both days as there is lots of important safety discussions that would be missed otherwise.
Content: Building rock anchors with bolts and trees, how to properly clean an anchor and lower and how to set up a rappel off rap rings, rock climbing.
