Climbing instructor Hope McCaffrey offers some pointers to a student during a recreational climbing class in the Climbing Gym. Climbing has seen a surge in popularity at the club thanks to an expanded facility.
CLIMBERS FLOCK TO WALL FOR CLASSES Recreational climbing classes offer opportunities for youth to get involved with a lifelong sport. Over the past decade, MAC’s youth Climbing Team has achieved enormous success at the National level. But you don’t have to compete to reap the benefits of MAC’s growing climbing program. MAC’s elite team of instructors and coaches teach a wide variety of classes, starting with children as young as 4. Offerings include family climbing classes, a weekly climbing session for young adults, popular women’s climbing classes and more. There are also open climbing sessions. “Recreational climbing classes are not just for members to learn climbing, they are a great workout both mentally and physically,” says Outdoor Manager Chad Failla. “If you are bored with a current workout and looking for something new, climbing is a perfect change of pace. Kids and adults learn to problem solve and have fun in an environment that is as much social as athletic.” With the Climbing Gym’s recent expansion, members can choose between more traditional sport climbing, in which you are secured via
a rope, and bouldering, which involves short and powerful moves on a smaller wall with a thick mat below. Bouldering is a great way for those new to rock climbing to get involved. Members simply complete a short orientation that covers proper falling technique, rent a pair of shoes and get on the wall. During the spring, the Tiny Tots class (see page 9) offers youth ages 4 and 5 the opportunity to get acquainted with climbing. In addition to teaching children about a new sport, the five-week class helps to build motor skills and instill self confidence. Also among this spring’s offerings is the high school climbing and conditioning class. Participants get in a workout while learning basic and intermediate climbing techniques. It’s a fun class in a social atmosphere, and students are eligible to become belay approved. For more information on MAC’s climbing programs, visit theMAC.com or contact Outdoor Coordinator Kellie Halkinrude at 503-517-7575.

ÂťWe Believe
We can inspire the next generation of conservation leaders. By supporting the Oregon Zoo, you invest in a better future for wildlife.
Each year, the Oregon Zoo educates over 200,000 children and families in our region, and we are committed to doing more. The Oregon Zoo Foundation has launched a $1.5 million campaign to expand zoo education programs and resources for our community. Set to open in 2017, our new education center will be a premiere learning and conservation resource. However, the building alone will not protect wildlife. Gifts to the campaign help enhance the center and provide tools needed to help future conservationists study the natural world. Gifts also support scholarships for zoo camps and classes, expanding access to these inspiring experiences.
