Description:
A paradise for outdoors people, Washington state boasts some of the best rock climbing in the country. Less than an hour drive from Seattle and you'll be in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains with access to a diverse range of rock climbing routes.
To get to the climbing zone, you'll take a stunning hike through a lush temperate forest past waterfalls and large trees. Once at the climbing platform, you'll be on the historic former Milwaukee Road rail bed now converted to a bicycle and walking trail. The views from here up the Snoqualmie Valley are greatly rewarding.
The goal of your climbing lesson will be to learn the basics of participating in this fun and challenging sport. Attention will be given not only to learning climbing techniques, but also explanation and use of all necessary safety equipment.
Whether you choose to climb 1 foot off the ground or 30, you'll be securely attached with advanced safety equipment and ropes being controlled by experienced instructors.
This is the perfect setting to explore a new sport or hone your skills by spending more time on the rope!
