Recreational Courses
Climbing is fun! We love introducing new people to the sport and helping them to be safe, skilled climbers with a love for the mountains.
Climbing is for everyone! It is a misconception that climbing is only a sport for a few elite people. Almost anyone can start climbing and have fun. And if you don’t get up the hard stuff at first, don’t worry. The more you climb the better you will get at it. You don’t have to be super fit or extraordinarily strong to start climbing. And you definitely don’t need to be a stringy little stick figure to enjoy it.
Join us for one of our recreational courses and we will show you how to get going safely, how to climb up cliffs you once thought impossible and, very importantly, how to have fun doing it!
Our courses are about you and teaching you how to climb. We don’t want to scare you or impress you with what the instructor can climb, but rather focus on making you a safe, competent climber who wants to get out there at every opportunity to enjoy the mountains.
We would also love for every student to eventually progress to traditional (”trad”) climbing and obtaining the “freedom of the hills” for themselves. To be able to go out and explore, maybe climb new routes or, of course, just get out and have awesome adventures and great fun.
Courses available:
- Introduction to Sport Climbing course
- Introduction to Traditional Climbing course
- Traditional Climbing Leaders course
- Adventure Racing Rope Skills Competency course
Venture Forth. We teach climbing, but we make mountaineers.
