This introduction to Sport Anchor Cleaning clinic will be an "on the ground" simulation to cover some basic information. (NOT at a crag) We will be indoors at my Barn with plenty of space to physically distance and practice techniques. (**Allergen notice - There are cats, dogs, horses, hay and dust**)
This clinic is an excellent preparation for a new climber to learn, meet other climbers, and discuss crag etiquette before attending an outdoor clinic. This clinic will NOT provide you with all information and experience needed to get a Sport rating.
