BELAY CLASS

This class is open to members and guests of members only. All belayers must be at least 13 years old.

Belay classes are free to members and $25 for guests of members. Guests must be accompanied by a member and will need to use a member guest pass to take this class. Either a free guest pass or a paid guest pass can be used.

Once you’ve checked out our bouldering area, the belay class is a great way to expand your horizons upwards! The belay certification class lasts two hours. During the first half, you'll learn essential skills such as knot tying, setting up a belay device, and proper belay technique. Once you've grasped the basics, you'll need a climbing partner—this can be someone taking the class with you or simply accompanying you to climb. In the second half of the class, you'll have the chance to practice climbing with your partner while your instructor remains available to support you and answer any questions that arise.

You must make arrangements with a climbing partner prior to the class. The Knot can not make these arrangements for you. You must have a climber to take the class.

Please arrive 15 minutes early so that you can get checked in and ready to climb.
