Learn to Lead

Are you climbing 5.9+ on a top rope? If so you might be ready to learn to lead climb. We will teach you the correct way to clip, climb, and belay. Lead climbing is quite different than top rope climbing and your top rope skills must be at their best. If you are not climbing 5.9’s solidly yet try attending a few of our movement classes and with a little practice you will be climbing 5.9’s in no time. Prerequisite: Top Rope certified climber & 5.9 climbing ability. Please contact Melissa Kennington for class offerings and more information at mkenning@broomfield.org.

Parent/Tot and Parent/Child Climbing
Children are natural born climbers, and climbing builds confidence and self esteem. Let us show you how to put your child on the wall safely. The first day of class is just for the adults in the group. While your little ones are at home this first day, you will be learning all about safety, gear, knots and how to belay. For the remainder of the session you and your child will interact together, having fun and learning to climb. We will provide a small snack during class for the children. Please wear comfortable clothes and tennis shoes.
