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 your second time at the MMC vertical wall for further reinforcement of the technical rock skills. 

Depending on how the class feels, we may not need this additional skills practice, but we've scheduled it for now so the option is there.

You will practice indoors at the MMC auditorium: climbing, slingshot belay (belay from below), belay from above, rappelling, ascending a vertical fixed line, ascending a rope using two prussiks, passing through pro fixed line travel, and running belay.  Climbing shoes are not required, but we recommend you bring your alpine boots to practice in.  We can also focus additional training on any skills and techniques already learned throughout BCEP.

We might have a group potluck organized for this skills session depending upon interest.
