Just getting into climbing and looking for some tips on how to progress from climbing a V0/5.7 to a V1/5.9? In this class we will introduce you to footwork, how to place your feet precisely and deliberately, sequencing, and stressing the importance of warming up. Register here.

Participants must be between 8-13 years of age, 14–17-year-olds may take the adult beginner movement class. All instruction will take place in the bouldering area, but skills and techniques learned will apply to your rope climbing.  This clinic is $10 for members, which goes towards dues for the next billing period if you attend the class.  $10 for non-members (day pass and rental gear not included). Registration is required as space is limited! Parents must remain with their children during the class.

River Rock Member No-Show/Late Policy: Most of our classes for River Rock Members are at no charge and are included with membership. We limit the amount of registrations for all our offerings to allow quality instruction. To that end, if you as a member register for a class and do not show up for the event you register for you effectively took an opportunity away from someone else to attend. We will not honor member reservations for a 30-day period for anyone who does not attend a class or program they register for without giving at least three days advance notice to cancel. If you are a no-show for any program or instructional class, you will be charged non-member rates to attend any future programs for a 30-day period. No refunds for classes or clinics without three days advance notice.

We ask that you are prepared to start at the scheduled time for the class or program.  That means you should be prepared with your required equipment, be warmed up, and be ready to start at the designated time.  If anyone is 10 or more minutes late you will not be able to join the class and the same policy as above will apply.
