In the Belay Lesson you will learn to manage the rope in order to keep the climber safe (Belaying). Additionally, you will learn the proper knots, climbing commands, and harness safety checks. After taking the class and before your first time climbing, you will be required to take a belay test showing the staff that you have retained all the information and skills that are needed to ensure the climber’s safety. Once you have finished the class the instructor will recommend climbs for you throughout the gym, which you may climb for the remainder of the day. Taking this class and test will certify you to climb on your own during Stone Summit’s open hours.
Reservations are strongly recommended due to our class cap of 6 students per class. (Classes fill up fast!)

Have you been chomping at the bit to climb outside? Here is your chance to learn the basics and what it takes to climb in the great outdoors. In this class you will learn how to lead a sport route, set up your equipment (quick draws and anchors), rappel, and how to take your equipment down from the rock. Though this class will teach you the basic Sport Climbing skills, Stone Summit still recommends that when you climb outside you go with an experienced climber or guide service. However, with this class you will have a better understanding of your guide’s methods and reasoning.
