Outdoors we focus on building and cleaning lead and top rope anchors. You will learn how to clean anchors on both a lower and rappel using a range of equipment options.

Some of the skills learned include escaping the belay, raising an injured, passing a damaged section of rope, as well rope ascending and lowering options for individuals and teams.
