Great follow-up to "First Ascent"
Can be taken more than once
If you have taken our First Ascent clinic (or have similar experience), this is the perfect follow-up. We’ll take the new set of skills you have been shown and help you apply them with greater confidence and understanding on climbs of a different character or difficulty. You’ll be amazed at how efficiently you move on the rock and how smoothly you handle the rope once you have a little experience under your belt. Whether it’s been a day, or a week, or a year since your first class, you’ll find that things really click on this second day.
