Description

Crack Climbing Skills:

Crack climbing is a technical but non-intuitive
type of rock climbing. With a little
coaching
and practice the techniques for climbing, all
different types of cracks are easy to learn.

This
program covers technique tips for finger locks, ring
locks, hand jams, fist jams,
cups and even stacks.

Designed for climbers
that want to develop their crack climbing
skills and
take their climbing to the next level.

Squamish is the perfect location to develop the
skills needed to tackle your crack climbing
goals
as the approaches are short and the cracks are
plentiful.

This course starts thin and goes
wide so
the morning is spent in the Smoke Bluffs
working on finger crack technique. Then after
lunch
you progress to hand and fist cracks.

To
wrap up the day, some wider techniques are
tackled. These include off-width technique like
hand and fist stacks for anyone that’s
interested,
and some chimneying technique.

Everything that
you need to compress your crack climbing
learning curve.
