Learn to rock climb using the beautiful and newly-developed Quadra Island crags.

On day one, you will develop your movement skills on rock, belaying, rappelling, and using simple anchor building. On day two, we take it to the next level with the building of complex anchors, using removable protection and advanced movement skills. On completion of this course you’ll feel comfortable top-rope climbing on your own.

We have been invited to Quadra Island by Phil Stone, the driving force behind the development of these crags. Phil is a resident islander, climber and renowned author of Island Alpine, the go-to book for climbing on Vancouver Island.
