Sport Climbing Class

Class is for:

Climbers with some experience looking to begin sport climbing or to improve their sport climbing technique, knowledge base and performance.

Prerequisites:

General climbing experience and a desire to learn sport leading.

Course Description:

Learning how to lead sport climbs (climbing from the ground up clipping bolts on the way for protection) opens up vast new territory for beginners, weekend warriors and dirt bag climbers.  While considerably less complex than learning to lead climb placing protection with nuts and camming devices, sport climbing has its own risk management challenges and requires specific techniques.  Through detailed discussion of gear and techniques as well as extensive use of mock leads, climbers can expect to gain knowledge and experience that allow them to effectively manage the risks and challenges of sport leading.

Expect serious gains in your technical knowledge, and a new level of awareness of risk management pertaining to sport climbing.  Come climb with us!

Class Length:

2 days.

A veteran Granite Arches' AMGA certified instructor.
