At the lead climbing clinic, we will teach the knowledge and skills required to lead sport climbing routes.

We will begin our day with a thorough introduction to lead climbing before we begin climbing. In a full hour of on the ground instruction we will cover aspects including gear selection, safety, clipping, rope management, etc. 

At the crag we will set up top-ropes on routes from 5.5-5.9 and provide the opportunity to mock-lead climbs. Mock-leads are simulated lead climbs that allow climbers the opportunity to practice clipping quickdraws and managing the rope from the security of a top rope.
