Falling…The Warrior’s Way (New Clinic)

• Do you fear falling?
• Are you afraid of losing control or getting injured?
• If you fear falling, you’ll lose focus and commitment.
• Learn how to fall safely so you can commit more effectively.

-

Clinic Description: The clinic will involve falling exercises, in small increments. We won’t progress you to lead falls until you are comfortable with toprope falls.

-

Sign up at these gyms:

Rock’n & Jam’n, Centennial, CO, Sat, Nov 13 12-3pm

Rock’n & Jam’n, Thornton, CO, Sun, Nov 14 12-3pm

Climb Iowa, Grimes, IA, Tues, Nov 16 6-9pm

-

You’ll learn to:

• Fall properly and safely
• Give a cushioned belay
• Assess risks better
• Distinguish between no- and yes-fall zones
• Deal with fear of falling
• Focus on what you can control

-

Investment: $69 for gym members; $79 for non-members; limit 6/clinic

-

Requirement for class:

It’s helpful if you’ve read The Rock Warrior’s Way and/or Espresso Lessons books, but it isn’t absolutely necessary. The clinic seems to be best for those who fear falling or lack commitment. You do need to know the fundamentals of knots, belaying, basic climbing skills, and at least 6 months of consistent climbing experience.

-

Equipment Needed:

Harness, shoes, belay device, and a helmet (if you have one). The gym usually provides lead ropes and sometimes helmets.

-

LIMITED OPPORTUNITY: This is the only time this year to take advantage of this training.
