Advanced Top-Rope Skills Course
Description:
This is the second installment in our Top Rope Series. This course focuses on building on the topics learned in Intro to Top Rope and taking them to the next level. Advanced Top Rope features building systems from natural/environmental anchors such as rocks, trees and the occasional man made structures typical of Quincy Quarries. Many climbing areas in Greater Boston were developed in a clean style and these type of anchor set ups will be found all over. We also add in sections about belaying from the top and rappelling. This course will set you up to be able to rig a top rope almost anywhere outside. We typically host this course at Crow Hill, Hammond Pond, College Rock or Quincy Quarries.
