Climbing is fun! But, as you may have seen on post

Climbing is fun! But, as you may have seen on posters hung around your local gym, climbing is also inherently dangerous.

Do you know what to do if
〰a leader takes a fall, breaks their ankle, and there’s not enough rope to lower them to the ground?
〰a friend is climbing for the first time and freezes halfway up the wall, unable to move and refusing to lower down?
〰your partner fell below a roof you lead and now they can’t reach the wall to get back on the route and they’re suspended in space?

These are just a few examples of things that could either be a small misadventure or a full blown emergency that requires rescue depending on your knowledge of how to handle these situations.

⚡️Join us October 1-2 to for our Self Rescue clinic to learn the skills to be a competent partner in the face of emergencies! We’ll cover:
✨lowering systems with a variety of devices
✨load transfers
✨belay escapes
✨rope ascension techniques
✨rappels
✨self rescue hauling systems

You don’t want to be caught in a bind without self rescue skills. Register today through the link in our bio!

Pssst….maybe you’ve heard this PSA , but maybe

Pssst….maybe you’ve heard this PSA , but maybe you need a little reminder…

Climbing grades are subjective and can feel TOTALLY different…

〰from one gym to the next, or…

〰from one outdoor location to the next, or…

〰between different climbing syles, or…

〰between sport climbing and trad/alpine climbing, or…

〰based on how you’re feeling energetically, emotionally and mentally

Grades are either placed there based on the opinion of a few route setter(s) or developers; and the majority of these route setters/developers are actually male. ❌Grades are not an end-all-be-all measurement of your progress.

So here’s your reminder: be gentle with comparing your performance based solely on climbing grades. In fact, maybe don’t solely do that 😉 Doing that can inaccurately make you think your performance is declinig, or even give you a false sense of improvement. Instead, try to keep a journal and write down more details about how you feel on each climbing day and from route to route. Suggestions of details to keep in mind are the climbs overall style, angle of the wall, distance between bolts/gear if leading, where your mind was while climbing (was it focused in the moment, focused on the top, and doubting yourself in general), what strength of yours stood out to you, what stood out to you for something you may need to work on or stay focused on more intently, etc.

🤔How do you measure your climbing progress apart from grades?
