Lead Climbing Basics

           (class size: 4-8 climbers)

The next step in gaining climbing independence, this clinic teaches climbers the essentials of placing their own anchors using removable protection common in traditional lead climbing. Many climbing areas do not maintain safe fixed anchors; so, often it is necessary to bring your own! We will cover safe nut and cam placements, anchor equalization, judging rock quality and more. This course is an excellent introduction for beginning lead climbers.

Pre-Requisites: Rock Climbing Basics or Equivalent experience.

When?  9:30am to 3:30pm

Cost?  $90 per climber
