Lead Climbing Class
Are you read for a new challenge? Central Rock has your covered! Reserve a spot in our Lead Climbing Class.
With lead climbing, the rope runs directly from the belayer to the climber. As the climber goes up the wall, they clip the rope into the fixed gear on the wall. This class is 3 hours long and will consist of climbing 4-6 routes in the 5.7 - 5.9 range.
