Introduction to Rock Climbing

Rock climbing is currently one of the fastest growing sports in the outdoor industry. It is an extremely fun and rewarding way to gain fitness, and to enjoy time with friends and family. In addition, it is one of the best ways to become a more competent mountaineer. It improves your footwork and balance and at Valhalla we believe it is the best way to train for mountaineering.

Our one day rock climbing course is designed for people who want to get into the sport and see if it is something they enjoy doing. We offer small group sizes, the guides are able to structure the course to meet the needs of each individual climber. We focus on risk management and risk aware climbing practices. Our locations have minimal hiking and approach time to maximize our time climbing and developing skills.

This course focuses on the fundamentals of rock climbing. We will teach you knots, belaying, climbing movement, rappelling and much more. Also if you are just looking for a fun day out rock climbing with friends and family, this is the day for you!
