Clinics Winter/Spring 2013

Crack Climbing : Tuesday February 26, 7-9pm

Do you look at the cracks in the gym with trepidation? Do you wonder how people actually climb (or want to climb!) cracks?  If you answered "yes" to either of those questions, this class if you!  In this two hour class, we cover crack climbing technique on various crack sizes, how to place gear, and how to build a gear anchor.  Take the class and fear no crack!

Price: $60 member $75 nonmember

Falling Clinic: Tuesday March 26, 7-9pm

Does the thought of falling have you hugging the ground? Or perhaps you’re one of the rare few who enjoys the sensation of falling.  Either way this clinic is for you. We tackle not only correct falling technique, but also the mental head game that can go with it. 

Cost: Member $60, Non-Member $75

Self-Rescue Clinic: Friday April 5 (Evening) and Sunday April 7 (Morning)

Ever watched 127 hours and wondered what you would do? Learn how to deal with complex rescue scenarios like counter balance rappelling to injured victims, using load-releasable hitches, tandem rappelling, and passing knots (and of course they also had to do it in the dark!).  If you climb outside and don't know how you would deal with those less-than-ideal situations, think about this intensive 7 hour course.  This clinic will focus on getting yourself out of trouble on technical roped climbs, so you don’t become material for Hollywood’s next movie.

Cost: Member $155, Non-Member $190
