Overview

Our Craftsman sport climbing workshop is designed to teach you the essentials of lead climbing outdoors.

The workshop is located at Metcalfe Rock, a prominent climbing location along the Niagara Escarpment. A few hours from Toronto, these limestone cliffs are one of the best places to learn how to sport climb in Southern Ontario.

Muskoka Mountainworks Workshops

We developed a series of courses to take you from your first outdoor climb to full independence on trad and multi-pitch terrain. Starting with Apprentice, you’ll learn the basics of climbing outside, including top-rope setups and crag safety. Apprentice+ introduces self-rescue techniques. The Journeyman and Journeyman+ workshops are all about anchor building, from natural anchors to trad anchors. Craftsman marks the transition into sport climbing. Finally, Craftsman+ rounds out the finer edges climbing, including multi-pitch and trad climbing. Don’t see what you’re looking for, contact us for a custom workshop!
