You must be knowledgeable in knot tying, anchor cleaning, belaying, and lead belaying.
Lead climbing is not required, but you can if you have the experience. Feel free to come and top rope only. I am more than happy to lead up anything at this crag to set a top rope.
The routes at Canal Zone offer good beginner sport leads in the 5.8-5.10 range.
