Advanced Rock 2024

The mission for the Mazama Advanced Rock Course: “We Teach Trad.” This course provides high quality instruction and training to enable graduates to be proficient at leading traditional climbs on vertical rock. We teach the technical and mental skills that will prepare you for a wide range of climbing, from single-pitch cragging to multi-pitch and alpine rock routes. There is a focus on gear placement, anchor building, lead climbing, rock rescue, mental and physical preparation, and planning and execution. You’ll have the opportunity to meet new and experienced rock climbers, to learn about climbing areas and destinations, and be involved in a supportive group that will enable the learning of new skills, growth, and challenge through climbing.
