This workshop will cover fundamental skills for climbing, focusing on working with ropes and the mastery of various knots, hitches, and bends used in climbing. Participants will learn how to tie essential knots such as the figure 8, alpine butterfly, bowline, clove hitch, and more. The workshop will also showcase the different uses for each knot, giving participants a comprehensive understanding of how to use them in a practical setting. It’s important to note that certain knots such as the double bowline should only be attempted by advanced climbers with strong technical skills, as they can be more difficult to inspect and tie incorrectly. Overall, this workshop is an excellent opportunity for climbers of all experience levels to gain crucial knowledge and practical skills for climbing.
The workshop will run for about half an hour, followed by a BBQ and climbing.
Cost: This workshop and BBQ is free for CAWA members once your discounted entry fee to the gym ($14) is paid. Urban Jungle members who are also CAWA members have it all for free.
