Take The Next Step:
Learn to Build Bombproof Anchors & Climb Trad—Safely and Confidently
Go beyond sport climbing. Master gear placement, anchor systems, and the skills you need to climb independently.
You’re ready for more… but something’s holding you back.
You’ve climbed outdoors—but relied on bolts or others
You’re not fully confident placing gear
Anchors feel complicated (and high consequence)
You want independence—but don’t want to guess
👉 That gap between climber and self-sufficient climber?
This course is how you cross it.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
In this 4-hour hands-on course, you’ll learn:
How to place cams, nuts, and traditional protection

Using natural features like trees, cracks, and boulders
Rope management and belaying from the anchor
Route planning and gear selection
Developing a “trad mindset” focused on safety and decision-making
