Beginners' Belay Lessons
Posted April 19th, 2011 by shawn
If you're a beginner, and will need a beginner's belay lesson at Rock Oasis for the January Club Climbing and Beginners' Night, sign up here!
What
Beginners' belay lessons are required if you're new to climbing and have never belayed before, or if it's been a while and a refresher would be a good thing! Rock Oasis keeps track of who is registered to belay at their facility and who is not. If you're not registered to belay there, then it's a good idea to sign up for the belay lessons, unless you're an experienced climber / belayer (see For Experienced Climbers / Belayers below in that case). You can do that here by clicking the "Sign up" button below.
By When
Please note that we will be letting the gym know how many beginners we have early on Wednesday, so make sure you've registered by end-of-day Tuesday.
How
You don't have to be a registered member of Crag Crux Climbers to sign-up for this event. If you are a member, log in, and then click on the "Sign-up for Beginners' Belay Lessons" below. Otherwise, just click on the "Sign-up for Beginners' Belay Lessons" below, and provide your name, eMail address (so we can let you know of any last-minute changes that might occur), and a phone number if you wish. You can contact info@crag.ca for more information if you need it. After signing up, we urge you to read Safety at the Gyms.
How Much
The cost of an introductory lesson and all the climbing you want Friday night is $35 + HST per person. The price includes all equipment, instruction, and climbing after!
What to bring
Bring:
- cash, credit card, or debit card to pay for the evening,
- loose-fitting (i.e., allows movement) longer (i.e., knee-length) shorts,
- a t-shirt or other top that will let you move freely,
- socks for inside the rental climbing shoes, and
- a lock if you want to lock things in the (small) lockers available at Rock Oasis.
There are shower facilities at Rock Oasis as well, so if you feel it's appropriate, bring a towel and whatever else you may need.
For Experienced Climbers / Belayers
For experienced belayers who've just not been to Rock Oasis before, please contact Rock Oasis directly. You'll need to just have a belay test as opposed to go through the whole lesson. You'll nonetheless need to give Rock Oasis a "heads-up" and arrange that.
Rock Oasis, 27 Bathurst Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 2P1. (416) 703-3434
