If you’ve been bitten by the bouldering bug, you’re familiar with the deep satisfaction of sending cool problems on an indoor climbing wall. That feeling is what drives us to keep pushing on, no matter how many times we fail.
But while many enthusiasts are happy to stay crushing in the comforts of their gym, others set their gaze on the great mystery beyond the walls. After all, the sport is called “rock climbing”—and for some, no plastic hold can compare with the real deal.
That’s where we come in!
In this special one-hour session, you’ll learn what it takes to make the transition from gym to crag smoothly and safely. Taking your skills outside is not as simple as slapping some chalk on your hands and going to town—you need to know your equipment, employ correct technique, and follow proper etiquette.
Join an experienced, AMGA-certified guide as they run down the differences between indoor and outdoor climbing, explain all the intricacies of scaling crags, and teach you how to get into the right mindset for making the switch.
