School Programs
Just Climbing Session
The school Just Climbing session is our most popular program. Aimed towards the first-timer, this 2 hour session allows participants to learn about the sport of climbing through hands-on (and feet-on) skills.
This means instruction on putting on an approved climbing harness, learning how to belay (manage the ropes) and a technique tip or two. This session is designed primarily to give your group a lot of time for climbing. Our instructors are there to help guide you up the walls and to make certain that you enjoy a secure and fun filled climbing class. This course includes all the necessary equipment and of course our expert instructors to facilitate your visit. Don’t forget to look at our school group booking policies here.
Taste of Climbing 1 Hour Session
VIRG’s Taste of Climbing sessions offer students a rapid-fire, one hour climbing encounter. Instructors handle the rope systems and gear as students are thoroughly guided through their first indoor climbing experience.
Short on duration as well as price, this session is ideal for groups with time constraints or limited attention spans. This session is designed primarily to give your group lots of time climbing. Don’t forget to look at our school group booking policies here.
Getting Into It 3 Hour Session
The Getting Into It course is designed to get your students to the point of being able to come back into the facility on their own. Over three hours, participants will learn all the information needed to pass the VIRG belay check. They will have literally “learned the ropes!”
This means instruction on putting on an approved climbing harness, learning how to belay (manage the ropes), tie the figure-Eight follow through knot, and a technique tip or two. The course includes all the necessary equipment and of course our expert instructors to facilitate your visit.

ClimbFit – Fitness Through Climbing
Looking for a great fitness alternative for your students? Look no further. ClimbFit is it! Besides being an exciting form of recreation, climbing is a great way for anyone to start achieving their fitness goals (see the large number of climbers and boulderers on American Ninja Warrior as an example). VIRG’s ClimbFit program has been designed to show students how bouldering can be used as a means of power and endurance training.
With many schools adding fitness classes or fitness components to current phys-ed programs, the ClimbFit program is a great way to show the diversity of training options for students and to have fun doing it! Don’t forget to look at our school group booking policies here.
4 Hour Programs
Take your group’s climbing experience to the next level with an extended program at Vertically Inclined. Cover new skills, do tons more climbing and have fun!
Each of the 4-Hour programs offered begins with the 2-hour Just Climbing teaching participants the essential rope skills. From there you can customize your program be selecting one of the options below. Participants will continue to use and build upon the skills they learned in the Just Climbing session.
These programs can be done either as two 2-hour sessions or four 1-hour classes as your scheduling allows. Choose the options that best meet your program goals:
Just Climbing Plus: “more top-roping and climbing activities”
Now that participants know how the ropes work, they get to do tons more climbing and answer some important questions:
- Can they get further up the walls they tried last time?
- How many walls can they climb?
- Who will win the toprope challenges?
