During the practice session at the MMC you will have the opportunity to get familiar with basic rock gear and basic rock skills. You'll practice getting into your harness, how to setup your harness, how to tie into the climbing rope, in addition to belaying, rappelling, and ascending a fixed line. This will be done within your BCEP team on the MMC instructional rock walls.

Activity Notes

Hey Gang,

This is our first indoor rock climbing practice session at the Mazamas Mountaineering Center (527 SE 43rd Ave, Portland, OR 97215).  The advantages of this is a safe learning environment, and we don't need to deal with inclement weather woohoo.  Sorry it's on a Sunday evening, but this is what our schedule has to offer.  Let's do a potluck so bring something delicious to share sign up: (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_XbDR-5Rni42fupxs21c2Plmq0bwPFh7XhU2C7xE5U4/edit#gid=825052121).

We will practice rock climbing techniques, proper belaying techniques, fixed line travel and passing thru pro, and ascending a vertical fixed line using only your prussiks.

We are the last team for the night, so we can easily stay as late as you need to practice any skills.
