(Classes Scheduled Monthly-see below for dates)

 $30 Members / $45 Non-members (includes day pass)       (Personal climbing shoes recommended)  

Been climbing for a few months and feel like you’re thrashing your way to the top? Seen experienced climbers “make it look easy” and want that flow? Feel stuck at your current grade and not sure how to bump to the next level?

If you’re an advanced beginner (V0 or 5.8) through an intermediate climber (V2/V3 or 5.10) and you’re looking to improve your techniques, learn the “lingo,” and start moving through the grades then, this class is for you!

We will show you how to find and correctly use your center of gravity through proper foot and hand technique that will allow you to “flow” up the walls. This increased efficiency will allow you to save energy and link more difficult sequences. Techniques will include back-steps, flags, and perching, as well as heel hooks, drop knees, and dynamic vs. static movement.
