This camp addresses fear of falling and improving commitment. We'll practice falling, movement, and resting exercises and apply all learned skills to a challenging route that suites your climbing ability. We will do this in small increments creating appropriate progressions for each individual student. You'll leave with a structured method for taking appropriate risks with diminished fear. This course will be incredibly beneficial if you are starting your lead climbing career or wishing to improve your climbing grade and ability!
