Fall 2008472 Eskimo Roll ClinicTuesday 7 - 9 p.m. A solid kayak roll is a preferred method of self-rescue in both whitewater and sea-kayaks. Through hands-on instruction in the Evergreen State College pool, you’ll learn the basic mechanical and mental skills of executing a successful kayak roll. Evergreen has a set of kayaks, skirts and paddles that can be shared by class participants, but you are encouraged to bring your own equipment if you have it. You will be asked to open your eyes underwater, so we recommend you bring goggles and nose-plug for protection especially if you wear glasses or contacts. 473 Basic RockSaturday/ Sunday All day This class is designed to accommodate first time climbers as well as those with some indoor rock climbing experience. We begin with basic movements skills on rock, and then incorporate both face and crack climbing techniques before progressing to more challenging climbs. You will learn safe climbing protocols under the guidance of experienced and supportive instructors. It is our intent to educate, encourage, and enlighten you to the rewards and pure fun of rock climbing. Technical equipment, belays, anchors, knots, rappelling and lowering are all thoroughly covered.
