AMC Basic Outdoor Rock Climbing School - Grad Climbs

This is the final day of the 7-session AMC Basic Outdoor Rock Climbing School.
It's graduation day!

NOTE: Signing up here does not register you in this class. For class details, registration, and payment, go to http://arizonamountaineeringclub.net/schools/outdoor-rock-climbing-school/

The full class spans two weeks with four weeknight sessions and three full weekend days out on the rock at various crags. You will learn fundamental top-rope climbing skills including: equipment selection and usage, rope handling, climbing knots, climbing calls and partner communication, belaying, rappelling, climbing techniques, and basic self-rescue.

On Day 7, we will split up into small groups for Grad Climbs.
AMC Outing Leaders will coordinate a variety of top-rope and multi-pitch climbs to match students' skill levels and interests. Climbs will be held at various locations around central Arizona, with details to be communicated directly to students and supporting instructors.

Afterwards, we'll all reconvene for a casual outdoor party to compare bruises, swap stories, and congratulate our newest batch of climbers.

What do I need to bring?
You will need climbing gear including: harness, helmet, climbing shoes, personal anchor, several carabiners (locking and non-locking), belay/rappel device, webbing, and your prusik cords. Also bring: water, food, and layers to stay hydrated, fed, and comfortable all day, as well as a pack big enough to carry everything. Outing leaders may have other specific requirements, which they will communicate to their groups.
