Could you self rescue from several hundred feet above the ground? If you climb outside on a regular basis, it is only a matter of time before you witness or are involved in a climbing accident. Having the tools to react quickly to high-stress situations can make a huge difference in the lives and health of you and your partners, both physically and mentally. During this clinic, we will practice some of the fundamental techniques required to self-rescue an incapacitated partner from over one-pitch off the ground.

The Introduction to Sport Climbing Camp is a comprehensive course, designed to teach students the skills to become independent Sport Climbers in a single pitch environment. During this 2-day camp students will learn about sport climbing specific equipment, sport climbing anchors, lead belaying techniques with an assisted braking device, the lead climbing sequence, and gear removal at the end of a climbing session.

Our unique two-day camp is designed for sport or gym climbers, to gain experience with the art of placing traditional climbing protection, improvising and inspecting anchors, and perform as a solid second to your partner who is a traditional lead climber. We will also introduce you to the lead sequence and belays as well as how to progress with your partner on traditionally protected climbs. This will leave you with the confidence to practice becoming a traditional leader of your own with your partner.
