Session 2 = July 8 to 15, 2025
Both of these weeks are the same itinerary, we are running two camps to accommodate interest and differing schedules.
The Climbing Progression Camp is a week of climbing camp geared towards rope climbing. Campers will work with guides to develop their knowledge of rope systems, knots, hitches, anchor building/cleaning practices, traditional gear placements, and so much more. Climbers will get to learn the art of crack climbing, hone their focus on sport routes, and test their mastery of climbing and comfort at heights on a multi-pitch route.
Target Groups → experienced climbers
Disciplines → sport, traditional, multi-pitch
