This is a Women's Rock 101 Course Date

This is hands down our most popular course! The two day course is ideal for people wanting to learn the foundational skills to set up top ropes and begin climbing rock by themselves. This course teaches the solid set of skills needed to get out and start rock climbing and is a mix of ground school lessons along with lots of actual rock climbing!

We cover everything from climbing movement and correct belaying techniques to creating top rope set ups and anchors to climbing equipment selection, use and storage. We have created this course to set up the participant for our more in depth rock climbing 201 and specialized Intermediate Level Courses such as the Single Pitch Rescue and Lead Climbing Courses.

Topics Covered:

  • Climbing movement and bouldering skills
  • Knots and rope work skills
  • Belaying and rappelling, communication in climbing
  • Climbing equipment showing you what you need, what you don't need as well as looking at storage and proper use
  • Creating anchors using Natural components (trees, boulders) and bolt anchors for top rope climbing set ups
  • Reading climbing topos and deciphering climbing grades
  • Leave no Trace wilderness skills, climbing history and ethics
  • Debunking common myths in climbing and climbing equipment
  • Lots of Climbing!

Recomendations

"How can I learn to climb? I asked all around Charlotte and I got the same answer from Jessie Browns, Inner Peaks and Great Outdoor Prov. Co. All three said to contact Fox Mountain Guides because they were the best out there. So with 3 Fox brochures in hand I called to schedule the Rock Climbing 101 Course. I then took the Single Pitch Lead Course and then the ‘Master Class’ in December from Adam himself. It's been the best money I've spent for climbing yet!"
