Description: This module is designed to teach rock climbing skills that will enable you to climb safely in the back country. You will improve on the skills learned in the basic climbing course, which includes belaying, rappelling, and climbing in balance. In addition, you will be introduced to more advanced climbing techniques, placing protection, building anchors, and lead climbing. The module will be taught in a series of four lectures combined with hands-on climbing at Warehouse Rocks. We then move outside to four different rock climbing areas.
