RockUP - Outdoor Bouldering Safety
Outdoor bouldering is very different from indoor bouldering.
If you do not know what you are doing when you take bouldering out of the gym, it can be very dangerous... but knowing and applying best practices can make outdoor bouldering a much safer and more accessible outdoor recreational activity!
In this 90 minute class:
- Learn about key differences between indoor and outdoor bouldering.
- Learn to identify and mitigate risk from the most common hazards and dangers of outdoor bouldering.
- Practice building landings and spotting falls in a safe environment.
- Review outdoor ethics as they relate to bouldering outdoors.
