San Diego REI Outdoor School

Artificial Climbing Anchors (Outing)

Learn the basics of building climbing anchor systems with traditional gear. We will review topics covered in Climbing Anchors Concepts like climbing gear, knots, and equalizing the forces on the anchor. The focus will be on traditional climbing gear use.

This is a hands on program where you will build climbing anchors. This outing will focus on construction and assessment of anchors and not on climbing movement.

Prerequisite: Comfort belaying and climbing and Climbing Anchors Concepts
