Introduction to Rock Climbing
Scouts Need to Sharpen Their Skillz!
.
 After explaining how to set up our top rope anchor, the boys are taught how to clip into a belay/rappel device (ATC Guide) for rappelling. |
 Ready to go! |
 Scout Simon gets his first try at rappelling. This shorty beginner wall is perfect for teaching the scouts the basics before we move on to anything more challenging. |
 Learning to trust the rope and yourself. This is going to take a while but, hey, we’re in no hurry. Plus the view of Vancouver from this bluff in Lighthouse Park is really spectacular. |
.
Update – June 19, 2012: The boys have moved on to a slightly higher wall to learn top rope climbing.

 Apparently Max thinks rock climbing is A-Okay! |
