 BACK TO COURSE OVERVIEW
The ATS Anchor I Climbing Course is a beginner rock climbing top rope anchor building class. We will spend the first half of the day at an on-site ground school working on proper placements and equalization of rock climbing protection including: placing passive and active protection (spring loaded camming devices, stoppers, tri-cams, hexcentrics, etc...), route selection, top rope anchor site selections, & assessing and backing up fixed anchors. The remaining part of the day will be spent atop a cliff building basic anchor systems, and then climbing on the work we have done. We will finish the day with a rappel.
