Climbing Technique

Climbing Technique Class (all ages)

The climbing technique classes have two main objective: to make climbers stronger, and make them more confident in their abilities and movement. There are two levels to our technique classes. A beginner technique 1 class and an intermediate level technique 2 class.

Technique 1 Class: The mission of Central Rock Gyms Technique 1 class is to provide an in depth introduction to the basic technique required to successfully improve in rock climbing. Topics will include identifying holds and how to use them effectievly, proper footwork, effective warm-ups, followed by some hands on practice.

Technique 2 Class: Our goal is to best serve the needs of our climbing community. We have designed the Technique 2 Class in order for climbers to develop more advanced footwork, rock movement, and begin to learn how to route read.

Private Classes: private technique classes can be scheduled with a minimum of 3 participants. These sessions will cover the same material as a Tech 1 or Tech 2 class and will run for 2 hours. Such classes can be scheduled at a time that best fits the participants needs.

Private indivual or group lessons can also be requested and run for 1 hour. The content of private sessions will be determined by the instructor based on the climbers skill level and identified areas of improvement.

Scheduling: Technique 1 classes will held on a weekly basis from 7pm-9pm on alternating Mondays and Tuesdays. See our event calendar for more details. Technique 2 classes will be offered once a month with dates to be determined. All regularly scheduled classes will run for 2 hours.
