This clinic is for climbers who want to be supportive belayers and competent followers on trad climbs in the Gunks. We’ll talk about strategies for removing gear, re-racking, and giving a good catch. Learn to evaluate risk and ask informed questions about the terrain and style of climbing you are participating in. Just because you’re not leading the climb doesn’t mean you’re not a huge part of the team!
Are you a boulderer who is having a hard time transitioning to taller routes? Or maybe you’ve tried outdoor climbing before and haven’t had the best experience? Maybe you’re anxious about trying harder routes even on top rope because you don’t trust your belayer or worse, you don’t trust the system you’re climbing on. This clinic is for you!
Join Marian May Perez for a workshop on getting out of your head and becoming more present on a top rope. We will go over topics like communication with your climbing partners, taking tight on dynamic ropes, understanding top rope climbing systems and how they work, tips and tricks for mitigating risk on top rope, and climbing together with community.
