Start your caving journey with our introductory Indoor SRT Basics course offered at Progression Vertical Gym.
SRT (Single Rope Technique) is a method used in caving for descending and ascending vertical or near-vertical ropes. SRT allows cavers to efficiently explore and navigate through caves and other challenging environments. Because SRT caving requires specialized equipment, precise skills, and extensive risk management knowledge, we designed our SRT course series to fully prepare you for your future adventures.
In the Indoor SRT Basics course, you will hone foundational SRT skills and gain insight from our experienced instructors in the familiar setting of the climbing gym. Learning indoors lowers the cost of the course, making caving more approachable for all adventurers.
Upon course completion, you will also receive a SRT Basics Card for SRT practice at Progression Vertical Climbing Gym. You can then return to our gym with a membership or a day pass to fine tune your skills on our SRT rope systems.
