Intro to SRT Indoor

Start your caving journey with our introductory SRT 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 Intro to SRT Indoor course, you will hone foundational SRT skills and gain insight from our experienced instructors in the familiar setting of the climbing gym. Learning indoors first allows you to optimize your time when exploring real caves.
