Six-Week Technique Courses

Level 1: Basic Technique

Learn the secrets to climbing more efficiently and gracefully. For climbers of all abilities and fitness levels, Basic Technique provides you with a fun, encouraging environment. Over six weeks, we’ll teach you body position, weight shifting, footwork, backsteps, drop-knees, flags, route-reading and more. We’ll start with a climbing-specific warm-up session, followed by 2.5 hours of skill evaluation, climbing technique introduction, drills, and individual feedback. The bonus? You’ll meet other climbers and potential climbing partners.

Anyone who is 19 years of age or younger must have our waiver read and signed by a parent or legal guardian.

Level 2: The Next Step

If you’ve taken our Level 1 course, or if you’re already comfortable with aspects like basic body positioning, backsteps, and dropknees, it’s time for The Next Step. We’ll pick up where Level 1 left off, review basic concepts, and upgrade your overall physical fitness and climbing endurance. You’ll learn new skills like advanced flagging, heel hooking, deadpointing, mantling, short and longterm goal setting, mental exercises, basic hangboard techniques, and more.

For The Next Step, please note: Our instructor recommends an onsight level of 10a, and the ability/endurance to perform at least ten easy climbs during the course’s three hours.
