Our intermediate class helps climbers push past the 5.10 barrier by dialing in on specific movements. Do you know when to gaston, drop knee, layback, deadpoint, and stem? How about when to use compression, or a heel hook, or the rose move?? In Climbing 201 we will work you through each of these movements in a variety of drill until you know them forwards and backwards!
Come climb with Jess! Part of our Wednesday night "Ladies' night," women's class is a chance to come climb with other women and discover what is special about being a female climber. Lessons focus on strengths of the female body and movement, including balance, flexibility, and grace.

Special, in-depth clinics cover various aspects of climbing and are 3 hours, usually held on Sundays. Clinic topics include lead climbing, rappelling, buillding anchors and climbing outside, bouldering, and routesetting. Check the gym schedule or cal us for upcoming clinic information!
The week after a clinic, we also hold two follow-up supervised clinic practice sessions where you can practice what you learned in the clinic with additional help from our staff. These are included in the price of the clinic.
We offer private lessons for climbers who want special training or for those whose schedule does not work with our other class offerings. All lessons are taught by climbers with years of experience. Rock Dump staff can work with you to schedule something that works for you!
