Big Wall Seminar

This intensive two day seminar puts climbing big walls into perspective. From route planning to equipment and food selection, we cover the bases. We review the curriculum of our Self Rescue and Aid Climbing classes then take it the next level. Pendulums, lower outs, tension traverses, haul bags, portaledges, bivy gear and more. You will even get to spend the night on a porta ledge.

NEW!

This course will never be cancelled due to lack of participation. That means that if you are the only sign up, you get the guide and the low price all to yourself!
