Feeling comfortable on the wall, and ready to begin honing your craft? In this two day class, we’ll cover key techniques to help you really progress in your climbing. Day 1, learn principles needed to drive movement from your toes, how to position your body and use handholds efficiently, and use breath to support your mind and movement. Day 2, you’ll get time to practice on your projects with feedback from our talented coaches. Leave with the skills to tackle most climbs through Blue (V4).

Expect to come out of this class with a more nuanced understanding of best lead climbing practices, whether you’re working to pass your Lead Check or you are already leading and want to build your confidence on the fundamentals.
