rock climber trip Learn to rock climb with the OAC at Cragmont Park in the Berkeley Hills.

This introduction to outside rock climbing in the cliffs and crags in the Berkeley Hills is a great way to develop climbing skills on real rock. First timer and beginner climbers will be introduced to rock climbing in this great outdoor environment.

This Outdoor Adventure Club activity is designed as an introduction to the exciting sport of outdoor rock climbing — an adventure that delivers great fun, beautiful scenery, as well as physical and mental stimulation. There’s nothing like the exhilaration of working your way up a rock face, then rappelling down like you’re dancing on the walls.

The Trip:

This is a "Learn As You Play" adventure. Our professional guides will cover equipment, terminology, safety, basic climbing, belaying, and footwork. Then, everyone gets on the rock to climb! Group size will be limited to a maximum of 6, so early sign up is advised. The trip lasts from 8:30 am to approximately 4:30 pm.

The trip will also be rewarding for people who have climbed indoors and are ready to take it outside. There are great crack and face climbs rated from 5.5 to 5.11. Learn how to trust your feet, do laybacks, hand jams, and for some, just get up the wall!

OAC climbing guides do more than just set top ropes. They coach you, encourage you when you need it, and help you develop better climbing technique.
