TOP ROPING TRIPS

Top Roping is the most commonly utilized climbing system where the rope is run through an anchor at the top of the climb. This allows for some upward tension in the rope the whole time the climber is on route which means, should the climber fall, they are immediately caught by the rope. Top Roping is a great option for beginners looking to explore climbing for the first time. For those with some experience, let one of our guides take you on a tour of one of our fine local crags for a day filled with all the climbing you can handle!

Multi Pitch climbing is a more involved system involving intermediate belays that allows the group to climb much higher to spectacular views. Some experience is recommended, but not necessary. Expect to be at height for extended periods of time. Full days are most appropriate for multi pitch outings but there are some fantastic half day multi pitch opportunities.
