Q Rock Climbing

            A mind and body activity – and now a legit sport- rock climbing is an exhilarating element of mountaineering.  Climbing is highly technical but when undertaken with caution and the proper instruction, it is far less dangerous than it appears.  In order to minimize the risks, it is essential that the climber be fully acquainted with the necessary skills and techniques.  The Rock Climbing Course include Safety Principles, Proper Use of Equipment, Rope Management, Anchoring, Belaying Techniques, Communication, Basic Movements, Climbing Techniques, Flexibility Exercises and Mental Awareness, and many more.  The actual climb may be done on Artificial Climbing Walls or outdoors, depending on the participants or the weather.  Like rappelling, one should never teach himself to rock climb.
