This is the year! You’ve been climbing in the gym. Maybe you’ve been outside a couple times with friends, or perhaps you’ve never experienced the joy of real rock. But you’re determined to get climbing outside and on your own!
Unlock an entire world of new climbing experiences as Remarkably Human Adventures teaches you how to take your indoor experience and translate it to a safe experience outdoors.
After this one day intensive course you’ll feel confident in your ability to safely setup a climb outside, choose appropriate climbs, stay safe while navigating the cliff top and base and work with the many variables that the outdoor environment throws your way. Learn to be safe, efficient and maximize your fun while minimizing the risk.
If you’re looking to get out on your own and enjoy all that the area has to offer, this course is for you. Make this the year that you break free and start climbing on your own.
This is a group course that runs on pre-scheduled dates.

This is a full day intensive program. The day starts at 8am and typically runs until 5pm, but may continue until dark.
Please block out your entire day.
The emphasis of this course is on education and learning rather than a day of hard climbing. As such, it is open to all levels of fitness.
You should be prepared and able to spend a long day outdoors, but the climbing and hiking will be very mellow.
We remain flexible throughout the day to respond to energy levels and ability on a moment-by-moment basis. You’re in great hands with our guides.
This program is open to gym climbers that comfortably top rope 5.9 or higher in the gym. It is also open to gym leaders that lead a minimum of 5.9 in the gym.
If there are any gaps in basic climbing knowledge, worry not! We pride ourselves on being great educators and will teach you everything you need to know to get the most out of this course.
No outdoor climbing experience is necessary. However, if you would like to get out and experience your first day of climbing real rock, we recommend our First Time Outside program, where you can enjoy a fantastic day pure climbing on real rock without having to worry about the details.
As a gym climber looking to make the transition to outdoor climber, you have a leg up on most others. You have a solid grasp of some of the fundamentals. You may be quite accomplished at the actual act of climbing. You probably have good communication skills and know how to stay safe in a controlled environment. Let us help you build upon those skills and develop a wide repertoire of new skills that will help you get out climbing on your own.
Some of what you’ll learn in this course:
By the end of this course you will have the knowledge necessary to get outside, on your own, safely and with confidence.
The goal of the day is to have you walk away secure in your ability to access both established sport climbing crags as well as bolted-anchor toproping crags throughout Vermont and beyond.
This course is a fantastic foundation and gateway to all of our more advanced courses. If you’ve been climbing in the gym and are frustrated by not being able to get outside on your own, we’ll help you remove the shackles and start you down the road to freedom.
While our programs take us all over the country, we are proud to call Vermont home.
Not only is Vermont a beautiful state, it provides us easy access to the best climbing in the Northeast, including the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the Adirondacks in New York, and of course the Green Mountains right at our doorstep.
As climbers, we proudly support our local climbing organizations and are advocates for conscientious access to the outdoors, conservation of our land and resources and the protection of our wildlife.
