*This is a 2-day course.

Flash Foxy's Intro to Big Wall course will cover the essential skills for ascending walls that are too hard to climb without aid - that's placing and pulling up on gear, rather than making upward progress with just our hands and feet. We'll go through basics of aid climbing with and without ladders, "jugging" or ascending a fixed rope, big wall anchors, hauling your food and overnight gear in a haul bag. This course will include time for students to practice aid climbing with instructor feedback.

You will have the opportunity to practice jugging and aid climbing techniques; however, most of our course time will be spent working on skills with very little rock climbing, so come prepared to spend time hanging in your harness!
