WHY TAKE OUR WORKSHOPS?

We are about sharing information, teaching skills and growing the community safely. Some people like an activity to be lead or guided, we offer that too. But these workshops are about empowering the climber with knowledge. We teach the skills you need to get out there and climb harder, and improve safety for yourself and others around you. Our workshops are structured in a way that the information is compounding, constantly building on what you just learned, or learned in a previous workshop. We understand that you are thirsty for knowledge and we will give you everything we have to quench your thirst.

WHAT WE DO DIFFERENT

This program builds on the skills you learned in the Multi-Pitch Transitions and Techniques Course. We'll focus on techniques to speed up your transitions, single and two-point anchor systems, anchors utilizing the climbing rope, methods of protecting the leader from consequential falls out of the belay, complicated belay ledges, as well as advanced techniques to protect your belayer, and leader rescue techniques.

You will fine tune your rope management with new techniques and lots of practice.

We will teach you techniques that the pros use, helping you launch beyond those that have been trying to self-teach themselves for years and still do it wrong. We teach this in a fun environment that allows you to learn and practice transitional skills without the stress of being hundreds of feet off the ground.

Precise thoughts, organization and efficiency are essential for success in multi-pitch terrain, we will help you achieve that.

PRE-REQUISITES

This is an advanced (Tier 3) level workshop which requires that you've already taken the following workshops:

In addition to the above pre-requisite workshops, we hope that you will have spent some time climbing outside and practicing the skills you've learned in those workshops.

Students should have the ability to safely belay with a plate, tube or assisted braking device.
Students should be able to confidently climb at a grade of 5.6 outdoors (5.9 indoors).

Our only other requirement is that you come prepared to THINK.
