Belaying at the Workplace

We are offering a belay workshop for town employees who are interested in belaying and/or rock climbing.

We will teach you everything you need to know to pass a certification test. You will have to come during an Open Climb session to take your test (due to time constraints). Once you are belay certified you will be able to participate in climbing sessions at the wall. We recommend bringing a friend to learn as well so you will have a belayer while you climb too!

Also, if you are just interested in climbing you are welcome to just come and climb, we will have staff to belay and/or instruct.

Sign up by April 19. Contact Liska Lackey at llackey@email.unc.edu or 919-968-2796.
