Inspired by the popularity of our CAYA for Women class, this class is open to anyone. CAYA: Intermediate starts with an evaluation of your climbing strengths and weaknesses. You are only as strong of a climber as your weakest link.  Over the course of 6 weeks we will work on core, grip strength, flexibility, power, technique and mental aspects of climbing. Each session will end with campus board, hang board, pull-ups and light weights.

This course is for top rope climbers who want to expand their terrain at Shaker Rocks and practice for the outdoors. Our lead climbing instructors will help you learn to lead quickly and carefully with good habits you can apply to indoor and outdoor climbing. You will be coached on proper clipping, belaying, rope handling and risk management. We will help you stay focused while you’re leading and show you how to give a "soft catch" to any partner. At the end of the course, you will be prepared to complete the lead climb and belay certification check.
