Crack Climbing Clinic

Activity Notes

Come join the Mazamas in getting your crack on! Advanced Rock is hosting a day at Wankers Columns to teach you all about jamming. During the clinic, we will cover how to tape hands, basic jamming techniques, and get tons of practice.  Prerequisites: Applicants need to know how to tie-in to the rope and top-rope belay. There are no climbing level prerequisites, but be aware that crack climbing can be painful when starting out! You will likely get most out of the class if you are comfortable climbing 5.8 outside, but more importantly bring a willingness to be uncomfortable. If you have the option, we recommend bringing climbing shoes that are comfortable to stand in, which may be slightly larger than your gym shoes.  Members pay $100, and non-member cost is $130.
