Rock Master III

Location

Rumney, New Hampshire

Group Size

Max 6 people

Duration

7 days

This is the third and final camp in the Rock Master youth progression series. If you love climbing, gear systems, and big cliff adventures, this camp is designed for you. A small camper-to-guide ratio allows for personalized instruction and the chance to take on more complex routes.

One of the few camps in the U.S. that teaches teens multi-pitch climbing and traditional lead techniques, this program gives skilled participants the opportunity to lead routes after demonstrating proficiency through mock leads. The goal is to introduce traditional lead climbing while tackling routes that require greater commitment than previous levels.

Appropriate for teens ages 13 to 18 (8th to 12th grades) seeking to increase their climbing skills through experiencing more committing multi-pitch (where all members of the group climb up a cliff one rope length at a time) and trad climbing (placing and removing ones own gear in the cracks of the rock for protection). Prior climbing experience is required and participation in the Rock Master I & II programs is recommended, but not required if the camper has sufficient climbing skills. For all participants, the ability to manage themselves during a long challenging day is needed.

Meets at Noon August 1st. Ends at 2pm August 7th.

Equipment included.

Group cookware & meals included.

Personal camping gear not included (but let us know if you need it, we're happy to help when possible).
