Top-rope Clinic and Climbing

This is a weekend clinic for those people wanting to learn how to safely set up top-rope anchors and ground anchors for belaying.
Topics covered are:
- how to safety off at the top of a climb.
- knots and gear used to set up a top-rope anchor both with and without bolts.
- how to set up a ground anchor at the base of the cliff if needed.
- proper belay techniques with various devices.

This is a 2 day clinic:

Day 1 consists of demonstration of top-rope setup and knot practice, followed by climbing.

Day 2 consists of participants setting up top-ropes under leader supervision, followed by climbing.

Also open to members who just want to come out and climb.
