belay lessons

Whether you are a boulderer, a beginner, or an experienced climber in need of a belay refresher, this one-hour class may be the right fit for you. You’ll learn how to properly put on a harness, tie a figure-8 knot, check yourself and your partner, and belay by nationally recognized standards. Once you pass the class, you will be given a provisional belay certification that is only good for the day of your belay lesson. To get fully certified at CityROCK, you must pass our belay test 24 hours after taking the class.  This class starts on time. Please arrive early to get your gear ready! Late arrivals will be asked to reschedule.

Participants must be 8+

You will learn how to:

  • Properly put on a harness
  • Tie in with a figure-8 follow through
  • Belay with a GRIGRI
  • Perform safety checks on your partner
