I’ve been climbing at the rock gym for the last 2 months, so I already know how to belay, can I bypass the belay stuff and get right into the climbing?

Great! Your understanding of how to belay in a gym is a great starting point – but the Rock Program emphasis is on outdoor and ultimately traditional climbing which is significantly different than the tightly controlled indoor climbing gym experience. Learning about anchors, safely belaying from the top of a climb, or belaying a leader are all new experiences that the course covers in a fair amount of detail, so please plan on attending and perhaps learning some new skills.
