Are you new to climbing? Have you ever gone into a climbing centre
and seen those climbers at the top of the walls and thought 'WOW
how do they do that! Can I do that? Where do I start?'
All climbers, when they visit a climbing centre for the first time,
are shown the rope skills they will need to keep each other safe
and the layout of the facility – but not how to actually climb
because it’s just not that simple.
The Northern Beaches Rockhouse runs clinics for beginner and
intermediate climbers to help you quickly pick up the skills and
technique needed to make it to the top of those difficult climbs.
Over four weeks you will complete four 2 hour sessions covering:
v Basic balance
v Diagonal contact theory
v Economy and recovery
v Climbing on steep surfaces
v Introduction to climbing equipment selection.
During the four weeks you will gain familiarity and trust with the
other climbers taking the clinic. Many participants, six months
later, are still finding their most reliable partners are the people
they met during their clinic.
So don’t wait to meet a new group of friends – they are waiting,
along with all the health, fitness, muscle tone and self-assurance
benefits of climbing.
The next Learn to Climb Clinics for beginners and intermediate
climbers will commence on:
The clinics will run over four weeks with weekly two-hour sessions
from 7 to 9pm.
The cost to attend the basic four week clinic is $220. This includes
entry, all gear hire and instruction. If you already own climbing
harness, shoes and a chalkbag the cost is $200. Two other options
are available:
1. Basic clinic plus unlimited climbing for the duration of the four
week clinic. Cost is $270 and includes unlimited entry for four weeks as
well as instruction and gear hire during the clinic sessions. If you have your
own gear the cost is $250. Extra fee applies to hire gear other than clinic
sessions.
2. Basic clinic plus a 10 pass. Cost is $320 and includes four clinic
sessions, and ten visits whenever you wish (10 pass lasts for 6
months). If you have your own gear the cost is $300.
Extra fee applies to hire gear outside the clinic sessions.
