Do you have an interest in climbing but can't leave the kid’s home alone? This family clinic focuses on the instruction of adults in the basics of Top-Roping. Adults will be taught knot tying skills, and belaying skills. A belay endorsement will be given at the end of the session. The kids may be belayed by staff and the endorsed guardian. Price is per adult-child pair. Every additional child will be charged the kid’s clinic rate.
