Get “On The Wall” with Vertical Ventures
Develop new skills and relationships. This hour long meet-up clinic aims to improve your technique, strength, and climbing skills through specific drills and movement. It’s a great opportunity to meet other climbers in your community and find new climbing partners. Each month showcases a specific theme and each week will explore variations on that theme.
June Theme: Ropes!
June 7th – Endurance Training w/ Logan
Been getting too pumped too fast while climbing ropes? This class is for all rope climbers who are looking to maximize their endurance on the wall. Whether it’s training for more endurance or working with what you’ve got, Logan will cover it all!
June 14th – Route Reading and Efficient Resting w/ Atti
Route-reading and resting are 2 crucial components to flashing and on-sighting a rope route! Sometimes figuring it out on-the-fly works great, but other times it’s best to figure out a plan and execute it while finding the best resting spots possible before even getting on the route! Atticus will be there to guide you through all the best practices when planning on completing your project, or attempting to complete a climb on your first try!
June 21 — All Things Lead w/Cody
Lead climbing can be quite daunting, there are so many components that go with it! Whether it’s clipping, falling, or belaying – Cody’s got you covered. Cody will go through the ins and outs of what it takes to perform at your best while you’re in the pit.
Pre-requisites: Lead certified or have taken the lead class.
