Mazamas — For the Love of Mountains
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
Our goal for the evening is to lock down proper belay and rappel technique in a realistic environment. We’ll also cover the basics of climbing technique, specifically Sling-shot Belay, Top of Pitch Belay, Fixed Line, and Rappelling with Autoblock, and use of prusiks on a fixed line and in self-rescue. We’ll continue to practice knots as needed.
Please bring all your climbing gear plus a helmet for this session.
