Clinic Description: This clinic covers the how, where, what, why, and when of placing your limbs on the wall. We’ll discuss why smart body positioning is important, how to read boulders off the wall, and where movement mechanics beat strength. You can expect this clinic to teach you new ways of reading boulders all while in a playful and empowering atmosphere. Click here to register.


Clinic 2: Embracing Momentum (10ppl; Intermediate; 10:30-12:00pm) $50
