As a recent Colorado transplant, one of the sports I’ve really wanted to get into is rock climbing. I was able to take part in Divas Move on Tuesday night and got a crash course in climbing. While I have had some previous experience (a handful of times on a rock wall), this was the best opportunity to refresh my general knowledge and learn specific techniques. Mel Joyce, Outdoor Divas own climbing instructor extraordinaire, guided me and the other Divas through safety practices, knot tying, belay technique, foot/hand placement, and climbing routes. We also got to try bouldering (NO ROPES)!
Outdoor Divas climbing classes are great way to meet other female climbers AND it’s also an amazing workout. Ok, I’ll admit it…my arms are still sore! 
The Primrose Harness Package by Black Diamond ($89.95) makes the perfect starter kit. It includes all of the essentials you need to hit the rock: - Primrose AL Harness (to keep you strapped in)
- Belay Device (to control the ropes)
- Locking Carabiner (to keep you locked and loaded)
- Chalk (to keep those hands sweat-free)
