Outdoor Rock Climbing Lesson - Learn to Lead Sport!

Have you been wanting to try outdoor rock climbing, but didn't know where to start? Join me in this outdoor climbing lesson with Trevor from Open Air Guides! This will have a focus on learning to lead sport climbs, but if you are brand new, we can set up a top rope and get you situated for an afternoon of climbing! Just send me a message with your experience level so I can coordinate details with Trevor :-) Details below!

Open Air Guides (https://www.openairguides.com/)

This lesson will be a 5-hour single pitch, with no more than a 20-30 min approach, leaving about 4 hours at the crag!

The maximum cost per person is around $185, but if we get 6 people, it will go down to about $100 per person. I have to pay in advance, so I will coordinate payment details with each person independently.

Please message me if you have any questions!

From Open Air Guides:

## "Guiding with Heart, Teaching with Purpose."

"With years of experience in the mountains, we combine expert guidance with a passion for teaching. Whether you're taking your first steps on the rock or pushing your limits, we're here to help you climb with confidence and purpose."

#### 5-Hour Trip (approx. 4 hours climbing)

Perfect amount of time for beginners to get acquainted with the rock at a comfortable pace or for smaller groups of intermediate climbers.

#### Great for beginners or mixed groups of all abilities! Single pitch climbing refers to the height of climbs being no more than ~70ft from the ground. The number of climbs depends on the group size and time allotted.

Price includes all climbing gear, including climbing shoes, helmet, and harness. Please bring your own closed-toed hiking shoes, clothing, food, and water.

## The details

### What to bring

Food

• Appropriate calories for the time spent outside, plus a little more.
• Consider how you will deal with the trash at the cliff (I often have a ziplock dedicated to wrappers)

Water

• 1 liter per 4 hours per person minimum, consider double in the summer

Clothing

• Closed-toed hiking shoes *REQUIRED*
• Season and weather-appropriate layers of clothing
• Highly recommend a rain jacket always
• Consider hoods/hats that can fit under/over a helmet
• Cotton base layer can be ok in warm temps, but avoid cotton for all other layers and all other temps

Climbing

• I encourage you to bring your own helmet, harness, shoes, and belay device of choice
• I recommend you wear loose-fitting shoes since we could be in them for up to 4 hours at a time
• Anything you need to borrow, we will provide
