Description:
The First Time Climbers Clinic is a session geared towards those who have never participated in rock climbing. Participants will meet at the UCF Climbing Tower with one of our instructors and learn the climbing basics needed to start climbing. During this session, participants will learn climbing-specific vocabulary and definitions; the difference between bouldering and top roping; the basics of completing a route and reaching the top of the wall; and UCF Climbing Tower-specific policies.
This clinic is held on select Fridays. After the session, participants will have the opportunity to climb during normal Climbing Tower operations with staff assistance.
