gym to crag
We partner with Granite Mountain Guides to offer a gym-to-crag course at Gecko!
Our two-day Gym-to-Crag Course is designed for those who have had the opportunity to climb indoors and familiarize themselves with common climbing systems such as top-roping and/or lead climbing. This course is all-encompassing and starts off with a ground school session, where the fundamentals of bolted top-rope anchors and the differences between outdoor climbing versus indoor climbing are discussed. From there it provides the necessary skills to either rappel or lower back to the ground and retrieve your rope at the end of the day at the crag. Every participant will have an opportunity to practice all of these new skills while under the supervision of an experienced, and AMGA trained instructor.
Minimum of 2 participants to schedule the class.
TIME OFFERED: Once a month for 2 days
