Supervised climbing by roped belay is a great way to teach confidence. Many camps offer a climbing wall with man made handholds. At Buckhorn we offer an actual rock face climbing area. When our campers or guests reach the top they know they have done the real thing!
The cliff section of rock that we use for climbing isn't very big, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in quality, variety, and having something for everyone. There are both short and tall climbs, easy ones that most everyone can succeed at and hard ones where most will have trouble, and just a great setting for a group to come together. |
