Intro to Big Wall

It’s okay, it’s totally normal to dream about climbing really big walls. And if you’re a solid trad climber, we have the perfect entry into the dark arts of big wall and aid climbing. Our four-day program is designed to take the competent outdoor lead climber and introduce the specific techniques needed to spend some real quality time in the vertical world. This course covers all of the basics of wall climbing like jugging and hauling, setting up a portaledge, and the progression of leading pitches of aid climbing.
