This clinic is designed for climbers looking to become comfortable climbing cracks. Most natural-protection routes follow crack systems where protection ("pro") can be placed, versus relying on pre-placed bolts. Arguably, crack climbing is the purest form of rock climbing. It has a rich history in the United States, from Yosemite to Indian Creek.

The Wasatch Range is filled with granite and quartzite cracks and is a perfect place to develop skills. This clinic will allow you to securely and efficiently climb a variety of crack types and grow your arsenal of techniques.

Skills and techniques taught include:

• Improving security and efficiency scaling various cracks
• Taping hands for crack climbing
• Learning hand, finger and foot jams
• Building stemming and lie-back technique
• Placing and removing gear in cracks
• Learning efficiency strategies for cracks, including use of "rests"
• Building anchors in crack systems
• Scaling off-widths and wide cracks
• Learning route-finding in crack systems
