Join SheJumps and Alpine Ascents International for a two day Intro to Outdoor Rock Climbing Course!
Our 2-Day Intro to Outdoor Rock Climbing is ideal for newer climbers who are looking to get into the sport or for those who are looking to transition from climbing in the gym to climbing outdoors. After taking this course, you’ll be able to confidently and competently join your friends for a day at the crag.
We often use Little Si and Exit 38 in North Bend, WA as a classroom for this course, which are located just 30 miles outside Seattle. If the weather does not allow for us to use this venue, we shift to the eastern side of the state utilizing drier climate at either Vantage or Leavenworth climbing venues.
