II. Technique Class
There are three levels in the technique class:
BRONZE ~ The class will teach the kids basics for climbing. Such as how to wear the harness, operating the Auto-belay, bouldering. And they will learn about basic footwork and techniques in this class. The class is perfect for any kid that wants a good start in climbing.
SILVER ~ The class will continue from where the beginner class ended, and more climbing techniques will be covered in this class. Kids will also learn how to Top rope belay safely in the climbing gym.
GOLD ~ The Advance class will continue from where the intermediate class ended, and will include fun and advanced climbing moves and techniques such as dynos and gastons. The kids will also get to experience dynamic climbing, such as stuntwerk, which combines parkour and climbing. Dynamic climbing requires a lot of hand-eye coordination, as well as timing in order to complete the route. The kids will also try and learn Lead Climbing and/or belaying.
It’s the first time I see my 2 girls so passionate about a sport. My younger daughter, Lauren, has become much more confident in herself since she started climbing, and my older daughter, Christen, amazes us with the moves she makes. They love the coaches and look forward to climbing lessons every week.

Ground Up Climbing Academy provides classes that matches the kids age and skill level. Ashton started rock climbing when he was 5 plus. He enjoys his classes so much that he is always looking forward to attending the classes on Saturdays. He tells me that his coaches looks after him well and are all very patient with him. The best part about the classes with ground up is that they Incorporate games during classes to engage the kids and keep them interested.
I must say that after doing rock climbing, Ashton has become more independent and disciplined.

When my son trains with Ground Up, I know that he is in good hands. Those good hands are of genuine, caring people who have the children’s total welfare at heart. The coaches go beyond the disciplined training program to also incorporate important life values and character building into their lessons.
Training is always filled with challenges and FUN. Great fun in a safe and respectful environment. What more could one ask for?
