Top Rope Anchors
Saturday, March 28, 2026
11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Allendale Campus
Students
This hybrid online/ in-person workshop is geared towards the gym climber who is looking to make the move into outdoor climbing. The skills presented will give climbers a foundation of anchor building knowledge that can be used in many climbing applications but this course will focus specifically on the equipment and techniques necessary to build a quality anchor on natural protection (e.g. trees & boulders) at west Michigan's two closest crags: the Ledges (Grand Ledge, MI) and Devil's Lake State Park (Baraboo, WI). This workshop will not include placement of traditional climbing protection. Necessary equipment for anchor construction will be provided.
Please RSVP at least 48 hours in advance in order to allow sufficient time to complete the online content and for our instructors to adequately prepare.
Upon registration, participants will be emailed access information for the online content which includes lessons on pertinent knots, anchoring materials, and important anchor building concepts. It is vital for maintaining the flow of the in-person portion that participants review this content and are proficient with the pertinent knots and anchoring concepts.
