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.
