2017 Beginner Rock School – Sept 17th

Ascent NB will be holding our second annual Beginner Rock School on Sunday, September 10th, in Welsford! Come learn basic climbing techniques and how to belay and rappel safely under the close supervision of experienced rock climbers.  No experience necessary! All equipment provided!

Proceeds help pay for Ascent's single largest expense, the insurance policy that our land use agreements require, and to purchase new ropes and gear for future rock and ice schools.

All equipment is provided for this full day event. Admission costs $100 for non-members and $80 for Ascent members (not a member?  you can purchase a membership here) and UNB Rock and Ice members.  ($40 of the fee is a non-refundable deposit; no refunds are permitted in the final week before the event). Bring a friend and you will each receive a $25 discount!!

Space is limited so sign up early! If we don't receive the deposit from you, then we can't guarantee your spot.

Minimum age of 14 (at our discretion).  Under 16 requires adult accompaniment. Under 19, must submit in advance a waiver signed by the legal guardian.578627_431203373594168_1024899536_n
