Description

Have you been lead climbing for a bit but are looking to gain confidence in managing tricky belay situations? Check out our Advance Lead Belay clinic to hone your lead belay skills and improve your belay confidence!

In this class you'll build on the skills learned in our Learn to Lead class. You'll refine your belaying abilities, learn how to manage weight differences and provide soft, comfortable catches no matter who you might be belaying. We'll go over height considerations and how you'll adjust your style based on wall features and hazards, and practice managing tricky scenarios like ledges, roofs, and when you can't see your climber. This class is perfect for those who recently took the Learn to Lead class and are looking to improve their belay skills.

Not all outdoor fixed sport anchors are the same. Sometimes there are hangers, chains, and rings and other times you might just have a pair of bolts. This class is designed as a more in-depth look into the numerous types of anchors out there and how to approach each. You'll get hands-on experience building various types of anchors with a range of gear to help boost your technical climbing IQ. This is a 2-3 hour clinic.

Cost: $95 for members | $140 for guests
Max Number of Participants: 4
Additional Notes: While this is a Gym to Crag class, as of now this class will be taught indoors at a Peak Experiences location.
Prerequisites: 16+ years of age. Lead Climb and Belay Certified at Peak Experiences or equivalent knowledge. Comfortable climbing grade 5.7.

This is an introduction to outdoor sport anchors and while it provides a solid foundation of knowledge, it cannot cover every scenario possible. Rock climbing is an inherently dangerous sport and there are more uncontrollable risks outdoors. Please exercise caution, but remember to have fun!
