Clinics tagged “Gym to Crag” are designed to help climbers transition to the world of outdoor climbing and to introduce advanced skills. While substantive, these clinics may not be comprehensive to ensure a safe transition to outdoor climbing. Further instruction and practice may be necessary. Foundational skills are recommended but not required. We welcome any interested climbers to come to watch, listen, practice, and expand their knowledge base.
