We had a great time learning the basics of knots, anchors, belaying, and the fundamentals of rock climbing! We had lots of time to practice and the class was well organized

Class was fun and went over all the safety aspects of climbing. Also had the rest of the day to climb in the gym and a pass to come back another time. Instructor was very thorough and funny. He made the class very enjoyable.
