Training: The SHAC Climbing Committee offers several different level of Climbing/Rappelling courses that begin with a Tower course (Part 1 of 2)and is completed with a Real Rock course at Enchanged Rock State Natural Area (Part 2 of 2). The adult courses are offered twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. The committee offers a two-day informative workshop which is designed to train instructors in BSA's "Climb on Safely" and how to effectively supervise climbing/rappelling activities at SHAC climbing towers. Individuals who satisfactorily demonstrate the skills necessary to be an instructor after completing the workship will receive a "Tower Instructor" status. We also offer a beginners real rock couse. This course is where we bring out the cool stuff (Cams, Stoppers, Hexs ...) and go into detail about anchors, anchors and more anchors. You must have completed the Basic course. At the end of the course you will receive a card showing that you have participated and completed the SHAC Topping Out (Climbing) Course. Only at the successful completion of both courses will you then receive a BSA Instructor card.
