The Learn to Lead Weekend is for anyone who is looking to begin lead climbing outdoors. We will be focus on trad climbing, but may touch on sport climbing too. The majority of both days will be spent at the crag, learning. We wil go to a different crag on both days.

We will cover:

- Guide books

- Gear Placements

- Anchor building

- Belaying

- Ropework
