If you love face climbing and hate climbing cracks.  You are not alone.  Crack climbing can be a difficult thing to enjoy if you don’t have the right technique.

Day 1 – We will brush up on all of our climbing terminologies, commands, knots, hitches, and belay skills to make sure we are all on the same page.  Then we will dig into the nuances of crack climbing movement.  Build ourselves some tape gloves and practice these skills for the rest of the afternoon, perfecting them in preparation for Day 2.

Day 2 – This day is all about climbing and cementing your new movement skills by creating some muscle memory, all the while encouraging each other and making new climbing partners.

You will leave this course with a few scrapes and bruises but fond memories and new friends.

This two-day program can start you off on the skills it takes for successful multi-pitch climbing or it can be designed to tick that classic Moab rim route or Dessert Tower off your hit lists. This weekend is best for a regular climbing team of women and non- binary folks who are ready to make that progression onto the next step of multi-pitch climbing or Tower Pursuits. Your private guide will discuss your goals and help you pick the best Tower or multi-pitch for your skillset.

Day 1 – Train with your guide and practice and hone skills that you will need for the following days objective.

Located in southeast Utah, Moab is approximately 236 miles from Salt Lake City, 355 miles from Denver, 115 miles from Grand Junction and 458 miles from Las Vegas. Most trips and classes leave from the RED ROCK BAKERY, 74 South Main Street across the street from the McStiff’s Plaza. Meeting times are determined by the season. Please contact 435-260-0990 for departure times. Many of our climbing sites are fairly close to town, while Indian Creek, Castle Valley and Fisher Towers take about an hour to get to. Once there however, there are miles of routes with close proximity to one another, making the walking time minimal when compared to the amount of climbing that can be achieved in a day.  Climbing around Moab is usually about a 10 to 20 minute drive  from downtown.

Mountain Hardwear was founded in 1993 by a small band of outdoor industry iconoclasts. They saw the industry changing, compromising quality and dumbing down products to serve less technical users. Mountain Hardwear was founded to buck this trend in order to stay true to the needs of outdoor athletes.
