Course Description:

'' The most popular of all our courses! This 2-day course is for the motivated advanced beginner, experienced indoor gym and/or sport climber who wants to further develop sport-style with a bend toward trad climbing skills. The focus is to provide a delicate balance of anchoring skills and to improve your climbing techniques. You will be critiqued throughout the course with a focus on improving both your weak and strong points. You will also learn to bypass inappropriate and time-consuming anchor setups and to create quick, efficient setups, minimizing risk and maximizing climbing time. This will help you assess someone else’s anchors you may be climbing on.

Day 1 will begin with understanding concepts of protection (ie, spring-loaded camming devices, stoppers, tri-cams, hexes) and what makes a good protection placement. The second half of the day will be spent on the rocks improving your climbing skills.

Day 2 will focus on anchor systems: equalizing with slings and cordelettes; incorporating redundancy in anchors; prevention of shock loading. The remainder of the day will again be spent on the rocks, doing top-roped climbs and a lead climb up to 5.10 (depending on students abilities). All trips are tailored to the instructor’s discretion with your safety our number one priority!
