Description

Gym to Crag Transitions:

This outdoor climbing course focuses on giving
gym climbers the skills they need to take their
climbing out of the gym and into the outdoors.

We get going with an evening gear briefing designed to
give you the knowledge to buy the
right kit for climbing outside.

We will discuss the
ins and outs of quick-draws, trad-draws, ropes
&
rope bags, anchor kits, etc…

Some time will
also be spent discussing gear maintenance,
racking
and some handling tricks that will make you
look like a pro.

Finally, the evening will wrap
up
with a little chat about outdoor cragging
ethics & general codes of conduct.

The following day will be spent at different
crags in the Squamish area and will focus on
practicing the hard skills needed to safely
climb outdoors:

• Setting up a top
  rope

Cleaning
