Women’s Rock Climbing Group Meet-Up

This summer Chick Climber and Bethel Church’s Women’s Climbing Group will be meeting every other Tuesday for rock climbing in the Black Hills. Times and locations will vary depending on weather. Check each event date for exact times and location.

New Member Belay Class Week!

If you are new and have never climbed, today is a perfect day to start! We will have the new member belay class, teaching AMGA standards for belaying and tying into your harness. If you have previous climbing experience, you can test, demonstrating you know the commands and current accepted AMGA belaying technique. Once you take the class, you can test the following week to demonstrate your new skills. Once you test, you are free to climb and belay unassisted.
