Falling Clinic – Finding Comfort in the Uncomfortable

Falling Clinic

This one day clinic is prefect for graduates of our Trad Single Pitch Lead Skills course and our Intro to Sport Climbing course. This clinic is also recommended for climbers who are beginning to lead routes and want to feel more comfortable on the “sharp end.” In this course we will look at strategies to managing the risk of a fall as well as the technique required to take leader falls. We will work through a progressive approach to falling, practicing specific techniques in a controlled environment.

Course Prerequisites:

Participants should be lead climbing certified in a climbing gym and comfortably leading gym 5.7 and top-roping gym 5.9.

Number on course: Maximum of 6:1 client to instructor ratio
Course length: One Day
Course dates: See the Course Schedule
Cost*: $250
2: $285 per person (two to one instructor, two days)
1: $365 per person (one to one instructor, two days)

*The costs are based on the actual number of participants on the course. Courses normally run at 3+ people. However, in the event the courses run with fewer people the costs will be as shown above. Participants that do not wish to take the course with low numbers (because of the cost) can change their course to another date. The upside to lower numbers is of course a more personal course.
