Outdoor Lead Class

Ready to take your climbing outside?

Our 4-hour Outdoor Lead Class is designed for experienced lead climbers who are ready to build the skills needed for outdoor sport climbing.

Indoor climbing provides a strong foundation, but climbing outside introduces new systems, hazards, equipment, and responsibilities. This class covers the practical skills and judgment needed to transition more confidently from the gym to the crag.

Prerequisites

• Lead certified at Vertical Ventures or equivalent
• Comfortable climbing at least 5.9
• Bring your own harness, climbing shoes, and belay device (ATC or GriGri)
• Climbers under 16 must follow Vertical Ventures’ adult-supervision requirements for lead climbing and belaying

Private appointments only.
