Womens's Intro to Trad w/Mina Leslie Wujastyk
Learn the mechanics of ‘traditional’ rock climbing, from placing personal protection to safe rope management.
A half day clinic, rock climbing in the Lake District focusing on improving your 'trad' rock climbing. This is aimed at climbers who already have some experience in climbing outside, but wish to understand better the basic rope skills, techniques and mechanics that underpin trad climbing. You'll learn more about placing traditional protection, building safe anchors, and good rope management to enjoy a safe climbing experience. We hope that along with some input into your own personal climbing movement you'll feel more confident and aware climbing outside which will help with that progression of slowly becoming more independent.
The women's trad clinics will run -
9am to 12.30pm - Saturday Morning (FULL)
Arc'teryx Global Athlete Mina Leslie Wujastyk will be joining in this morning clinic
