The upper balcony allows for exceptional training that cannot be offered at many other climbing walls. Multi pitch climbing, rescue, rappelling and anchor building can all be practiced here.

Party: Wall Climbing Seminar III

Hanging out while belayers outside of the shot try to escape from the system.

A newcomer to the climbing seminars makes it look easy.

Chad still waiting for a rescuer to make things happen.

Another new student looking good on Top Rope.

More new students.

Cindy and Brian. Having some fun while learning rescue systems.

Practicing lead climbing on the sport wall.

A great view of the far end of the gym.

I wonder if Chad can feel his toes.

Cindy looks unsure of that knot.
