Who is Rock Climbing 101 for?
Rock Climbing 101 is for adults who are new to outdoor climbing or have limited indoor climbing experience and want a stronger foundation outside. You do not need previous outdoor climbing experience.
Will I be able to climb outside on my own after this camp?
Most participants leave with a much better understanding of outdoor systems, belaying, rappelling, knots, communication, and risk awareness. It is still best to keep climbing with experienced partners until you gain more confidence in your knowledge or continue into Rock 201 before taking on more responsibility independently.
What skills are covered during the two days?
The camp typically covers climbing movement, belaying, knots, rappelling, gear use, outdoor communication, basic top rope systems, and how to behave responsibly at outdoor climbing areas.
Do I need my own climbing gear?
No. Colorado Climbing Company can provide the technical climbing equipment needed for the camp. If you already own shoes, harness, helmet, or other gear, bring it and your guide can help make sure it is appropriate.
How hard will the climbing be?
Guides choose climbs that match the group’s ability and goals. The focus is on learning and building confidence, not forcing everyone onto difficult routes.
