We are now offering a "transition course" for gym climbers covering some of the most important aspects needed to climb safely outdoors. The course will include topics such as:

• Top-rope anchors: set-ups using only "natural" features like trees and boulders
• Learning to place gear for top-rope anchor systems
• Rappelling (with safety back-up)
• Coiling (and uncoiling a rope)
• Care on ledges: ropes / rocks / people below you / yourself, etc.
• Movement on real rock, unusual techniques: jamming, off-width cracks, chimneys, mantelshelves, etc.

If you're a gym climber and want to be assured of the safest possible transition to real rock, please email or call us at 800.777.CLIMB for more information about this important new course.
