Gym To Crag

Gym To Crag

Next Outing: April 17th & 18th

This comprehensive clinic bridges the gap between gym leading and outdoor sport climbing, equipping climbers with the essential skills and knowledge to confidently lead outside. Participants will learn critical anchor-building and cleaning techniques, understand the gear systems needed for outdoor climbing, and develop the technical skills to move efficiently on real rock.

Through extensive hands-on practice at the crag, climbers will master building bomber quad anchors, learn two methods for safely cleaning sport anchors, and spend significant time practicing the mechanics of clipping quickdraws to bolt hangers while developing comfort and confidence moving on rock.

This course transforms gym leaders into prepared outdoor lead climbers who can manage the unique challenges and responsibilities of leading outside.

 

Prerequisites: Current gym lead certification; ability to lead 5.9 consistently in the gym
