Climbing Anchor Concepts (REI Outdoor School Outing)

1/24/2010 8:45 AM

8:45 am-4 pm, Sunday, January 24 at REI Saratoga

Learn the basics of building climbing anchor systems. We will cover climbing gear, knots, evaluation and use of natural and fixed protection, and equalizing the forces on the anchor.

Traditional climbing gear use is covered in Climbing Anchors 2. This is a hands-on program where you will build climbing anchors. All gear will be provided by REI Outdoor School. This outing will focus on construction and assessment of anchors and not on climbing movement. Prerequisite: Rock Climbing Basics or equivalent experience.

Recommended for those 14 and older, under 18 must be accompanied by parent or responsible adult. For more information, check out www.rei.com/outdoorschool or pick up a copy of the REI Events Calendar at your local store.
