Guide Training-Belay & Rock Climbing

This is our summer training that you will not want to miss–nice, warm days out at the ledges can do a body good!  We will be focusing on teaching belay and climbing technique, anchors and rappel set-ups that will take your personal skills up a notch and into thinking like a guide.  We’ll have plenty of time to practice rope systems and critique each other to ensure we are Solid, Equalized, Redundant, Efficient guides with No Extension (if you don’t follow that last sentence, you will after this training…)
