Course contents
- Strategies to Approach a Project: Approaching a climbing project involves setting clear goals, choosing the right project, breaking down the route into manageable sections, and mentally preparing for the challenges ahead.
- Route Reading: Route reading is the skill of analyzing a route before starting, identifying key holds, movement patterns, and possible rest points to devise the most efficient climbing strategy.
- Visualization Techniques: Visualization techniques involve mentally rehearsing each movement and sequence of a climb to enhance focus, confidence, and muscle memory before executing on the wall.
- Memorization Exercises: Memorization exercises help climbers retain specific sequences, holds, and beta, improving their ability to recall important details during a climb and increasing overall efficiency.
Each session includes practical, in-the-field learning, allowing you to apply new skills on actual lead routes under the guidance of experienced instructors.
