Rock Climbing

Footwork, body position and balance are more important than strength in rock climbing. Learn the techniques necessary to scale the most improbable looking faces or smooth featureless slabs. I will show you the rope work necessary to make climbing safe, then we will concentrate on movement skills.

You will start on short easy climbs close to the ground. As you gain skill and confidence we can graduate to longer, more difficult climbs. If you have already taken a course or climbed in a gym, I can show you how to transfer these skills to longer, harder climbs. Learn how to be faster and more efficient on longer climbs without compromising safety.
The Canadian Rockies has an abundance of moderate rock climbs that take you to the summit of a jagged peak. Good route finding and efficient rope work will be the most important elements to these summits. Difficult looking summits are often just a matter of link together easy pitches. I can guide you to the summit of a soaring rock spire that can only be reached by rock climbing.

Rock climbing has taken me to the far corners of the world. Let me take you to some of my favorite spots; quartzite cliffs in the Australian Outback, soaring limestone towers on the beaches of Thailand, the clean granite walls of Yosemite or the striking arêtes of the Dolomites in northern Italy.
