Technique classes are designed to provide climbers with the basic skills they need in a slightly small group setting. These classes are perfect for those looking for a friendly and non intimidating way to build their foundation in rock climbing. Classes run Tuesday evenings from 6 pm to 8 pm.
Descriptions and dates are below.
Handholds 101
“How do I hold that round thing? My fingers don’t fit and I can’t possibly pull myself up on that sprinkle on the wall!” Don’t worry, you’ll learn to get there with this class. Identifying holds and knowing how to grip there is an integral part of everyone’s climbing experience and a great place to start if you’re new to climbing.
Footwork 101
Listen very carefully to the sounds of your favourite climber…chances are, their feet are not making a single sound, simply dancing delicately and precisely up the wall. Understanding how and where to place your feet while climbing is crucial to success. This class will focus on how to generate power and precision by conscientiously and carefully placing your feet in the best way.
Overhanging Climbing 101
Have you had your arms ache just looking at the overhanging walls? Ever watched someone gracefully make their way to the top, moving like some sort of ballet dancer? You too, can be a graceful, climbing gazelle with this class on climbing overhangs effectively. Learn how to conquer even the most intimidating overhangs without breaking (as much of) a sweat.
