Rock 201 builds on the foundation of Rock 101 and is designed for climbers ready to take the next step toward independence. This course goes beyond top rope climbing and risk management to cover leading, anchors and cleaning (transitions) — the core skills needed to climb on your own. Unlike a guided trip where the focus is mileage and fun, Rock 201 emphasizes learning, hands-on practice, and risk management.
