This seminar is held in an expansive, indoor environment where
"rock-walls" of many different degrees of difficulty,
from basic beginner to extremely advanced. High initial skill levels,
past experience or athletic abilities are not important. Participants
are all trained in the fundamentals of rock-climbing, with emphasis
on safety, and are given all necessary gear. The importance of helping
and supporting each other is stressed. Team work, interdependence,
and trust in coworkers are all important learning lessons for every
participant. All participants are given the opportunity to work
on personal decision making abilities, willingness to take risks
beyond self-perceived limits, and setting and reaching higher goals. All activities are based on the concept of "challenge by choice".
