Itinerary:

Following the popularity of our earlier Introduction to Rock Climing event, the EOC is happy to announce the second of what will be many future climing nights at the Vertically Inclined Rock Gym (VIRG), a state of the art facility incorporating the latest innovations in indoor climbing including some 6000 sq ft of climbing terrain.

In this 3-hour course VIRG instructors will teach you the basics of top rope climbing and provide you with all the necessary skills to be able to come back into the gym and climb independently, either at future EOC events, or on your own.

All the equipment necessary to get you scaling the groovy sculpted walls at VIRG is provided. Also included with the course fee are vouchers for a free return night, a complimentary belay check, and two 25% discount visits.

It is suggested that participants wear comfortable clothing that they can move around in. Layers are also a great idea. Everyone must wear socks in the rental shoes.

All participants are required to sign a VIRG waiver prior to participating in this event.

Required Items to Bring:
