UW-Waukesha Continuing Education Director Susan Adams states, “This is a great new recreational sport to try in a comfortable, fun and controlled environment; Adventure Rock is known for encouraging students in the sport of rock climbing and the facility is outstanding! This class was developed for those with no experience and those with some rock climbing ability but regardless of where you are as a climber all students are set up for success.” 

Instructor Andrew Raether will cover all aspects of climbing including safety skills, technique, route reading, rappelling and more, all in a fun and social atmosphere. 

Future collaboration between UW-Waukesha Continuing Education and Adventure Rock may include classes with a family focus, as well as team building courses for businesses.
