Crack Clinics

$300.00

Crack climbing can be intimidating. Instead of grabbing and standing on holds, you’re filling the crack with your body. These clinics will help you develop solid jams more quickly—with less pain and a lot more fun.

We break the course into three non-consecutive days, each focusing on a different technique: hands, fingers, and offwidths. Sign up for the full series (email for a discount) or choose a single session to fine-tune a specific skill.

*We require a minimum of two clients to run. Reach out for private instruction.

Learning Outcomes:

  • From fingers to hands to offwidths to chimneys you’ll learn the right way to jam for each size.

  • We’ll work on the correct body positions for efficient movement, for resting, and for placing gear.

  • When and how to tape your hands vs using crack gloves.

Itinerary:

  • The clinics are divided into three separate days so we can focus on learning and practicing techniques for different crack sizes. Each day runs from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at an appropriate crag.

  • This is not a trad course—there will be no instruction on gear placement or anchor building. Our time will be entirely focused on movement skills.

Difficulty:

  • This is an intermediate-level course. Participants should be able to climb up to 5.9, either in the gym or on outdoor sport routes.

  • No prior crack climbing experience is required.
