“It’s a pleasure to spend time working on the most difficult aspects of climbing. Learning a structure for managing the negative mental chatter helps bring out the joy of climbing.”

“This camp gave me a lot of confidence working with Dennis–belaying him. I got to take my biggest falls and feel confident with them. Also got to work through a difficult climb to push my commitment, which was very valuable. Great class to take with your climbing partner.”

–Krista (Salt Lake City, UT)

“This camp aided me in techniques used to stay focused on the task. Using and thinking about the acronyms helped maintain focus.”
