Acquiring the knowledge to safely build and clean anchors is a fundamental skill to climbing outdoors. In this course you will learn how to build a few different bolted top rope anchors and safely break them down. We will also cover a few knots that are heavily utilized in outdoor climbing. We will be using homemade anchor boards to demonstrate and practice systems on the ground before transitioning on to the wall. Traditional gear anchors will not be covered. The big takeaway from this course is to gain more competence in these technical skills so you can safely enjoy a day at the crag with more confidence.

About Genevive Walker
Genevive began climbing in the Shawangunk Mountains in 2012, sparking a love for steep routes with drippy tufas, roofs, and anything that requires kneebar trickery. After 7 years in the sport, she started her career as a Single Pitch Instructor certified by the American Mountain Guides Association. Being a part of the first all-female SPI cohorts in 2018 opened her eyes to the disparities and inequalities within the climbing industry and ignited her mission to build community and both offer and support representation for BIPOC climbers.

Living full-time on the road for the last five-plus years has awarded her the opportunity to travel the world and experience different cultures while focusing on her strengths and skills as a climber and guide. When Genevivie isn't climbing, she loves to slackline, cook, and spend copious amounts of time with friends.

Equipment Needed: Please make sure to bring personal climbing gear - helmet, harness, shoes, and belay device.

Traditional climbing requires that the leader places removable gear and anchors. This gear is designed to protect the leader in the event of a fall. The gear is then removed or “cleaned” by the belayer as they follow the pitch. Proper techniques for placing cams and stoppers, protecting the follower, and building multi-directional anchors are all critical to becoming a proficient leader on traditional rock climbs. In this clinic, you'll learn just that, how to lead on trad with effective gear placements.
