Private Instruction: $25 per half hour
If you are looking for instruction in aspects of climbing not listed in the other classes, this is the route to go. Climbers looking to improve their skill level can benefit from instruction in movement, footwork, balance, or just being shown moves they wouldn’t figure out on their own. WNC can even develop work outs to help get you off that dreaded plateau.
