There is more to climbing higher grades than simply being ‘strong’.

Our mindset, approach to problem-solving, tactics and comfort with falling all play into the process of climbing harder grades.

Join Kinley and Vikki Weldon for a unique 2 day deep dive exploring a wide range of topics designed to change the way you analyze and approach climbing challenging grades in order to pursue your goals, climb more confidently and have more fun.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Structured falling instruction working with you where you are at to create more comfort with falling and catching falls (dynamic lead belaying).

  • Tactics such as warming up, resting on the route, breathing, shaking out, breaking a route into workable sections, nutrition tips AND MORE for optimal performance.

  • Skills like clipping up a route, finding optimal clipping stances and remembering beta.

  • Goal setting and creating a maintaining a positive mindset that embraces curiosity and learning.

Prerequisites:

Participants must have at least one year of experience lead climbing and lead belaying on outdoor sport climbs. Comfort in climbing 5.10 sport outdoors is highly recommended as most of our venues have limited route options under 5.10. There is not a requirement in this clinic to lead, as many of the skills can be practiced on top rope but experience in lead climbing is required.

We respectfully acknowledge that we live, work and recreate on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil Waututh), and Coast Salish peoples.

We believe climbing is for everyone. We are committed to fostering an inclusive, welcoming, and accessible environment where all climbers—regardless of background, identity, or ability—feel supported and empowered.
