Come join the Mazamas in getting your crack on! Advanced Rock is hosting a day at Smith Rock to teach you all about jamming. During the clinic, we will cover how to tape hands, basic jamming techniques, and get tons of practice.
This will be a one-day clinic at Smith Rock, on the weekend of April 3rd & 4th, preceded by an online lecture on March 31st.
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 the 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.
The field session will be preceded by a short online lecture on Wednesday (3/31).
Additionally, the first-day clinic (Saturday) is reserved for Melanated Mazamas and BIPOC members.
