Sunset Sessions: Top Rope
The intention of the Top Roping Sunset Sessions is simple: Enjoy outdoor rock climbing with the safety of a professional guide and the support of a consistent group of ladies. Time in nature, moving our bodies and laughing with friends is self-care. What better way to spend a few hours of your Tuesday evenings in June?! No outdoor experience is required.
Note: There won’t be an option for lead climbing nor instruction beyond basic outdoor climbing tips, I’ll set up top ropes and you get to climb. If you want more instruction, we can do that in a privately guided day or separate course.
This is only open to 4 women with the intention of everyone attending all 4 sessions.
$400
Time: Tuesdays 4:30pm (or 5pm depending on availability) - 7:30/8pm
Dates: 6/2, 6/9, 6/16, 6/23
In case of weather cancellations, make-up days will be scheduled.
Sunset Sessions: Lead
In the Sunset Sessions for Lead Climbers you’ll connect with a small group of ladies who are interested in developing outdoor climbing skills and climb for four consecutive weeks together! Within the safety and guidance of a professional (that’s me) you’ll have opportunities to lead, top rope harder climbs and learn important skills so you can feel more confident climbing outside.
Most importantly, we’ll spend time in nature, moving our bodies and laughing with friends, this is self care. What better way to spend a few hours of your Tuesday evenings in July?!
Experience lead belaying is required. Lead climbing is not required and, in some cases, may be discouraged.
This is only open to 4 women with the intention of everyone attending all 4 sessions.
