Starting at square one has never been more fun! Tech 1 explores the fundamentals of climbing movement - footwork and efficient upper body positions - while leaving room for some free climbing under an instructor's helpful eye.

This course builds on the techniques and principles taught in Tech 1. Now that you have the fundamentals down, we look to build upon these concepts. Instructors observe students' climbing during the first 20 minutes of class and then select a technique to teach that will be most impactful for their development. This course is designed for the intermediate level climber looking to climb beyond plateaus, and is customized to each student, each class. This means you can take it again and again and learn something new every time!
