Hey,

We filled up our first class so if you didn't get in -- we opened up a 2nd class for you!

I've set up a 3 hour private course just for our group -- Where we focus on the essential movement skills necessary for efficient and smooth climbing. This class is a critical step in the development of all climbers. Topics focus on weight shifting, hand and foot precision, fluid movement, and effortless climbing (one day I will get there!!) All equipment is included! And, if you aren't too tired after all that climbing we'll head out for some drinks/sustenance afterwards.

This venue is great! Earth Treks' newest climbing center in Rockville, MD is awesome with more than enough climbing for any skill level, it boasts an oversized bouldering area, two leadable arches, and tons of top-roping. The gym features intricate, cutting edge surfaces designed to usher in a new era of indoor climbing facilities. Notably, there are over 16,000 square feet of 40 feet tall climbing walls, extra large bouldering cave, multiple teaching areas, and over 100 top rope climbs with lead routes interspersed. And it is only a short walk from the Metro Red Line.

COST: $40/pp (non-refundable) and must be PAID IN ADVANCE! There are only 6 spots and your spot will only be held if you are paid!

Paid: ((Must pass Belay Test))

For those that are already feel like you passed this class OR want to come for practice -- feel free to meet us out there and do some climbing while we take the course! However, you can pay at the site. For those taking the class it is paid in advance only!!

This is a progression for the rock climbers out there -- following this course I will have a "Sports Leading Class" coming up before we head to climb the great outdoors -- so don't miss out!

Cheers,
Vanessa

    I called Earth Treks and they said you needed to be able to pass their belay test before taking this course.

    Do we need to have taken the first course to take this one?
