Description:
Have you got the basics of outdoor climbing down, but want to take it to the next level? In this class you'll learn nuanced movement (including backstepping, drop knees, flags, and crossthroughs), how to vary your belay with the situation, how to use stick clips and belay glasses, what clipping in direct is, how to fall safely, and how to ascend a rope after a fall. This course will also incorporate the fear of falling. Fear of falling is what holds most climbers back. This class will show you that it's okay to let go when the fall is a clean one, and that when you climb without a fear of falling you will climb far better.
