Situated less than an hour east of Seattle, North Bend, Washington is an excellent spot to learn outdoor rock climbing skills!

Sitting at the foot of the mighty Cascade Range, there are plenty of excellent options both for first time climbers as well as individuals with indoor climbing experience.

Our half-day adventure begins first thing in the morning with a brief equipment review and lesson on essential knot skills. We will also learn proper belaying techniques and communication signals that will prepare us for the actual climbing.

After we’ve covered all of these basics, then the climbing can begin! We’ll start with some friction climbing in order to develop our balance and slowly move on to incorporate both face and crack climbing techniques into the lesson.

Our half-day together will conclude with a few more challenging climbs where we will continue to put what we’ve learned to the test. We’ll call it a day at around 1 pm having made a few small ascents and prepared you for more rock climbing adventures in the future.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
