All rock climbing basics are introduced and utilized at this level. We will focus on movement over stone, choosing the right basic equipment and the fundamentals of belaying. This course is oriented toward those who have little or no rock climbing experience outside.
All rock climbing equipment is provided.
Suntoucher’s Guides are some of the most experienced and qualified guides in North America. Owner, head guide, and guide trainer John Kear is one of only a handful of American guides to have completed the International Guide Certification, the UIAGM.
Suntoucher instructional rock climbing lessons, courses, and seminars are based on the idea of a progression that closely follows our own tutelage through climbing. We begin with the rudiments of rock climbing advancing to more expert levels of rock; including multi-pitch climbs, big walls, alpine rock, rescue techniques, and high level sport climbing training.
All courses and guided ascents are done with small climber-to-guide ratios to preserve the mountain experience, maximize learning, increase safety, enjoyment and success of the participants as well as minimize impact on the environment.
