We will go over both lead climbing and lead belaying techniques in this comprehensive class.
Climber:
Proper and efficient methods for the climber to clip the rope
Discuss and identify improper clips
Practice taking falls
Belayer:
How to manage the rope for the climber
Giving and taking up slack
How to catch falls
This training addresses falling directly to help improve commitment. We do progressive falling practice, followed by movement, breathing, resting, and body/mind awareness exercises. Finally, students apply everything to a goal route. Students leave understanding how to take appropriate risks and how to commit to those risks.
