Updated: Lead Climbing and Intermediate Technique Classes Offered

[updated with new dates on December 13th!]

We have dates available for both our Lead Climbing Class and Intermediate Technique Class. We’re prepared to offer the Lead Climbing Class:

Friday, January 13th: 6-9pm

and

Friday, January 20th: 6-9pm

[Note: this class is now full!]

We’re prepared to offer the Intermediate Technique Class:

Wednesday, January 11th: 6-9pm

and

Wednesday, January 18th: 6-9pm

The Lead Class needs 4 people confirmed and paid by the end of day Friday January 6th for us to proceed with the class. Before taking the Lead Class, you should have been climbing for a year or more, and be able to onsight 5.9 routes and redpoint 5.10-. You should expect to climb 8-10 climbs between 5.7-5.9 during each 3 hour session, so you need to be strong enough to do that with a little rest in between climbs. We are emphasizing this because in the past we have had some take the class who were not quite ready for it, and were not able to do the climbing needed to make expected progress in the course. This not only makes it hard for the instructors to get these people where they’re going, but also disrupts the others in the class.

The Intermediate Technique Class needs 4-6 people confirmed and paid by the end of business Wednesday January 4th for us to proceed with the class (as of this writing we had 2 people signed up, so we need two more to proceed).

More details about these courses can be found here. Please call the gym at 416 398-7625 or come by in person to sign up as soon as possible. Sometimes these classes fill up immediately (there are long waiting lists for each), and sometimes it’s hard to fit everyone’s scheduling constraints.
