BCEP 2025 Team 14: Breakout Session 4 Rock Gym

Activity Notes

A bit of a change this time.  Instead of our normal online breakout session, we would like to invite you to come try some roped gym climbing.  This will give you some climbing practice, and our assistants can provide individual climbing analysis, tips, & tricks prior to our Horsethief weekend. 

There are many gyms in the local area, so we are not limited to just one gym.  We will most likely have assistants available to show up at any local climbing gym of convenience.  More details to as we get closer to this date.  Your harness is required (although helmets are not since there is no rockfall danger).  We do highly recommend using/renting rock climbing shoes.  Each gym has their own fee which you are responsible for covering.  You will also have to demonstrate to gym staff your competent ability to belay and to safely climb, including your proper climbing commands.  Your attendance is NOT mandatory since this is purely OPTIONAL bonus fun climbing time.

Course Work:

• Safety and Risk Management (ignore Review: “Being a team member”) ~1 hr 35 min
• Gear, Equipment, and Apparel ~ 1 hour
