Lead Climbing
About the Course
Are you ready to start leading rock climbs? Learn to clip bolts during our lead climbing course. Lead Climbing is clipping your rope to fixed bolts as you ascend the cliff. In the case of a fall, the last bolt will catch you. This is a necessary skill to access many climbing areas and to set up a top-rope. It's also a great way to challenge yourself mentally. You will learn how to evaluate bolts, clip quickdraws, proper falling, anchor setup, rappelling, and anchor cleaning. By the end of this course, you will be ready to start leading outdoors! This course takes place on North Table Mountain in Golden, CO.

Reviews
I went to refresh my rock climbing skills and instead of going to a climbing indoor gym and try Denver Climbing Company out. It was awesome. I had a great time, very inofrmative, challenging and very fulfilling experience.

I had a one on one outdoor lead climbing class and it was an awesome experience. Lead climbing always made me nervous to consider, but Dan's confident and calm approach helped me gain confidence as well. Everything was explained well so that I was able to reason through it on my own without too much trouble. The day flew by and I learned how to lead climb, belay, build anchors, and clean and rappel.

Dan, our instructor, was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. This enthusiasm was motivating and he was very engaged. I would highly recommend him and the Denver Climbing Co. Thank you!
