  • $95 for a 101: Basic Climbing Skills outdoor rock-climbing course for two (a $200 value)

During the 101: Basic Climbing Skills course, budding climbers spend an entire day learning the ropes and practicing basic skills on diverse faces and slabs. Instructors distribute safety gear, helmets, harnesses, and rocket-powered grappling hooks before moving on to scaling techniques. Participants learn how to simplify scrambles up sheer slabs, vertical faces, and daring cracks. The classes take place: January 26; February 2, 9, 16, and 23; March 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30; and April 6 and 13.

Rock-About

When students sign on for a Rock-About climbing class, they don't just learn to rope their way up mountainsides and trade banter with goats. The company's certified guides also educate clients about the cultural history and complex geology of the climbing sites. On climbing treks to Reimers Ranch Park, owner Adam Mitchell and his team teach top-roping and belaying techniques while exploring the notion that climbing allows humankind to commune safely with the earth's natural wonders. For those uneasy about vertical exploration, the guides offer non-climbing adventures such as interpretive hikes.

The Groupon Guide to: Backhanded Compliments

Science has proven that it’s almost impossible to say something truly nice to another human being. Unfortunately, maintaining close friendships dictate that you, at the very least, soften your venomous barbs by disguising insults as sly backhanded compliments:

  • “You’re so funny! I wish I could take important things less seriously.”
  • “Great idea! You’re not as stupid as I thought you were for most of my life.”
  • “Nice scarf! It’s like something a handsome person would wear.”
  • “I love your musk! I can always find you in the aisles of Target.”
  • “Happy birthday! I can’t wait to have your decades of wisdom, dignified wrinkles, and rapidly depleting calcium reserves.”

Are your friends using backhanded compliments on you? Find out with today's Groupon Guide.
