Private Rock Climbing Instruction
Rock Climbing Instruction:
Rock climbing means something different to each climber. After you have been exposed to the vertical world, your aspirations for climbing can take all shapes. Our private climbing instruction can take many forms. Our instructors have a great depth of knowledge in the sport of climbing and - just as important – we have the teaching ability to share that knowledge with our clients. A day of instruction is designed by your needs and our expertise. We will spend three hours to several days, guiding and instructing those skills that will make your climbing more enjoyable.
Below is a list of equipment for a normal day at Rappahannock Rocks. Your day of guiding or instruction may call for more equipment. If you have any questions, please call.
Equipment List
1. Comfortable Clothes: Your clothes should be comfortable enough to do a lot of moving in. Pants should be loose; sweats or tights or something that will allow you to step up high. Shorts should have long inseams so that they will stay under your harness. Lose fitting shirts or tank tops should be worn as well. All Clothing Will Get Dirty!
2. Shoes: Your shoes will have an affect on your climbing performance. For climbing, try to pick a pair that fits very tight. Running shoes are bad because they have such a wide foot platform for stability. A pair that has a snug fit and are able to get dirty are the best choice. You may want to bring an extra pair, more hiking boot style, to wear for the approach to the crag.
3. Food: Bring a lunch that you can hike in and eat at the crag, and a minimum of one quart of water - no glass please.
4. Personal Gear: Camera, Lip balm, Sun screen, Insect repellent, Sun glasses, or anything else you may want to have in your pack for a day out.
5. Warm Clothing: We do not teach climbing in the rain, but we do teach in the cool weather, so bring appropriate warm clothes In the event that the climate turns cold.
