Explore our world-class mountaineering library, apply for one of our grants, and dig in to your member resources.
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
This will be our first indoor introduction to the rock climbing and rappelling skills. Students will be able to practice rock climbing techniques, belaying techniques, rappelling skills, fixed line travel, passing through protection on a fixed line, and finally vertical rope ascension using prussiks. We will also teach you to create your own prussiks for this activity. We have the MMC wall all evening so we can stay as late as you need to practice your new skills. Come as early as you can and that will give you more opportunity to practice the skills.| Other Information | |
