If you’ve taken our first class or are already familiar with basic climbing safety (figure eight knot, harness set up, and climbing on top rope), this is a great next step. This 4-hour clinic starts with a quick review of these skills. Then we’ll teach you how to belay in a traditional ground school. Perhaps you’ve belayed a bit in a climbing gym, but only with a grigri? This is a great starting point to round out your knowledge of belaying techniques and skills, so that you may better understand the dynamics at work in a belay system.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Outdoor Rock Climbing Level 2 experience?

A: Yes, this experience is generally suitable for ages 13 and up, but younger climbers may be accepted if they have prior climbing experience and can demonstrate basic safety skills. If you have a specific age in mind, it's best to contact Adventure Out directly for clarification!

Q: What should I wear for the Outdoor Rock Climbing experience?

A: Wear comfortable athletic clothing that allows for movement—think leggings or shorts and a fitted top. Climbing shoes are usually provided, but you might want to bring your own if you have them! Just avoid anything too loose, as it can get caught while climbing.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the Outdoor Rock Climbing class?

A: If the weather looks unsafe for climbing, Adventure Out will reschedule your class. They typically notify you the day before if they see a potential problem. Be sure to check their cancellation policy and consider that they might offer a credit or a full refund if you can’t make a new date.

Thinking of gifting the Outdoor Rock Climbing Level 2 experience!

Hey everyone! I’m considering gifting the Outdoor Rock Climbing Level 2 experience to my brother. He just did the first class and loved it. The 4-hour clinic sounds great since he’s wanting to learn how to belay properly and get better at climbing. Has anyone done this? How was the instruction? Would you recommend it?

Anyone else nervous about the belaying part of Outdoor Rock Climbing Level 2?

I just signed up for the Outdoor Rock Climbing Level 2 clinic, but I’m a bit nervous about the belaying aspect. I’ve only used a grigri. Is it hard to learn the other techniques? What if I mess up? Should I just focus on the fun parts?
