Learn the skills to go out top-rope climbing independently, and build a solid foundation of Anchor Building Technique! This course covers gear, risk management at the bottom and top of the cliff, pre-equalized and self-equalizing anchors, and can even squeeze in a rappel lesson if desired. There is usually just a little climbing toward the end of the day.

Had a fantastic time on an ice climbing trip booked through Climb Onsight! The process was seamless and we saved so much time on researching guides. The Muskoka Mountainworks guides are the best. They were patient with us newbies and made sure everyone had a nice balance of challenge and fun. The incredible location also made for an unforgettable day.
