Want to get on the sharp end???

Jump start your lead climbing career with instruction that is focused on developing proficiency and independence in the world of trad climbing.

While sport climbing continues to grow with increasing popularity, New Hampshire remains a stronghold of the traditional climbing ethic and the allure of adventure stands as strong as ever. Learning to become comfortable and secure on gear-protected routes is a process that requires a serious investment of time and energy and  spending a weekend with a guide (and some good company!) is an invaluable way to fast track that learning process.

The goal of the program will be to provide a solid foundation of the fundamental leader skills: gear placement, anchor building, terrain assessment, belay systems for the leader, best rappelling practices, etc.  All participants will have the opportunity to lead or mock lead routes and receive actionable feedback and coaching. Other topics that may be covered include multi-pitch transitions and fundamental self-rescue skills.
