Hello Climbers! If you have been enjoying our climbing wall facilities by coming to open hours, perhaps you would be interested in taking your level of involvement in our climbing program to the next level. Here are some reasons you may wish to become an Instructor/Monitor: 1. IM's have the ability to open the climbing wall outside of regular hours. 2. IM's allow the wall to be open longer for regular hours and help to introduce more students to the activity. 3. IM's also have access to our 5.10 pro deal. This allows for the purchase of sweet climbing shoes at about half the regular price! 4. IM's are more deeply involved with the climbing community. As a result, they will be aware of more climbing opportunities in the form of competitions, bouldering outings, weekend trips, as well as trips to visit other gymnasiums. 5. IM's are permitted to help set routes. This allows for a deeper understanding of indoor climbing, participation in a fun creative art, and the expansion of our existing set of routes. WOC will be offering IM training sessions on Monday, October 26th and Monday, November 2nd from 7 - 9pm (open wall hours will be canceled). It is necessary to attend both sessions to become certified, however special arrangements can be made. Applications will be available outside of the WOC office starting this Monday. No experience outside of climbing at our wall is necessary. E-mail Joe Skitka at 10jms for questions.
