Womens Climbing Day at Castle Rock
September 27

Climbing is a big part of the Outdoor Adventure Club program, and we are proud to offer a special climbing day just for women. Both new climbers and experienced women are welcome to join us on this climbing day.

A big part of any women's climbing day is having a woman as your climbing guide. Sarah, your guide for the day, is a great guide, trained by the American Mountain Guides Association. She'll introduce you to outside rock climbing on the rock walls at Castle Rock State Park outside of Saratoga. First timer and beginner climbers will be taught the basics of the safety system, and more experienced climbers will have plenty of climbs to choose from throughout the day to improve your skills.

Don't worry if you are new to climbing. This Outdoor Adventure Club activity is designed to introduce beginner climbers to the exciting sport of outdoor rock climbing — an adventure that delivers great fun, beautiful scenery, and real physical and mental stimulation. There’s nothing like the exhilaration of challenging yourself to face your fears and allowing your body to move gracefully up the rock. You'll love it!

Indoor and more experienced climbers, you'll enjoy getting out of the gym and on to real rock! This is a great way to get those gym shoes dirty. Sarah knows all the great climbs in Castle Rock, and she'll be setting up climbs that both challenge and reward your efforts. Climbing with other women w

The trip will be especially rewarding for people who have climbed indoors and are ready to take it outside. There are great crack and face climbs rated from 5.5 to 5.11. You'll have opportunities to learn how to trust your feet, do lay-backs, hand jams and other techniques.

This is a "Learn As You Play" adventure. Our professional guides will cover equipment, terminology, safety, basic climbing and belaying, and footwork. Then, everyone gets on the rock to climb, climb, climb!

Group size will be very small (6 maximum) so early sign up is advised. Event lasts from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm!

OAC climbing guides do more than just set top ropes. They coach you, encourage you when you need it, encourage you more when you want it, and help you develop better climbing technique.

After a day of hard, fun climbing, nothing’s better than relaxing with your climbing friends. After we climb we can head down to Saratoga for pizza and beer, or whatever we fancy.

Includes:

• One day of guided climbing
• All gear including shoes, harness, belay devices, helmets
