Sport Leading
Our Sport Leading course is for climbers who wish to ascend from the ground up! You will learn the skills necessary to lead, clean, and top rope sport climbs. Students will be able to practice clipping, rope management, and falling while being backed up on a top rope system. Guided practice and preparation from this course will set you on track for leading your first sport route!
As with all of our courses, our guides will tailor the curriculum to your experience and goals. We strive to allow ample time for practice and repetition of the skills you will learn on any of our courses. Our goal is to help you meet your goals and take away skills that you can apply in the mountains.
