Meet at 8 am in the parking lot past the Bank Campground in Shelf Road. We will be hiking to the Bank Rob Wall.
We will learn about bailing off a sport route, using climber assistance techniques, advanced belaying techniques, and do some falling practice. Students will continue to practice leading either for real or with a top-rope back-up (mock-leading) as they are comfortable. We will also continue to practice setting up top anchors and cleaning them and expect students to be proficient at this by the end of the class.
