Whats the instruction like?
Knots: A good knot stays tied when you want it to be tied, and easily comes untied when you’re done with it. There are just a few knots you need to learn, and they’ll quickly become second nature. Belaying: Whenever you’re climbing on rocks so steep that a fall could injure you, you’ll have a rope connecting you to someone higher up, known as your belayer. Your belayer takes up the slack through a device that locks onto the rope if you slip, thus preventing a fall. You’ll learn how to belay your partner, and how to signal to your belayer when you’re climbing. Climbing: You’ll learn to use cracks and small ledges in the rock to ascend a cliff that just hours ago would have looked impossible to climb. You might think you need a horizontal ledge to stand on, for example; but a move known as a layback allows you to move up on surfaces that are completely vertical. Rappelling: Sliding down a rope, using a device that allows you to easily control your rate of descent, is known as rappelling.
