This is a fun, indoor climbing session at our rotating climbing walls: Colorado School of Mines, Lakewood Link Recreation Center. During the Indoor Rock Climbing Program with the NSCD, athletes will learn the basic skills of outdoor rock climbing from a certified American Mountain Guide Association Single Pitch Instructor. Those skills will include but are not limited to: tying a figure eight follow through knot, belaying using an ATC device, rappelling using an ATC device, climbing technique/movement, and climbing history/ethics. This is an all-inclusive program for all ages, abilities, and skill levels. We will provide the necessary adaptations/assistance to help all athletes overcome their own personal challenges. We know that through rock climbing you can meet and overcome obstacles you never thought possible! The goal of the program is to prepare climbers for a more high-adventure outdoor experience with the NSCD.
