Rock Climbing Anchors Class - this Saturday with the REI Outdoor School

Join the REI Outdoor School for a class on how to building rock climbing anchors. This Saturday at Lincoln Woods in RI.

Learn the basics of building climbing anchor systems. We will cover climbing gear, knots, evaluation and use of natural and fixed protection, and equalizing the forces on the anchor. Traditional climbing gear use is covered in Artificial Climbing Anchors. This is a hands on program where you will build climbing anchors. This outing will focus on construction and assessment of anchors and not on climbing movement. Register here:  http://www.rei.com/class/57/market/140
