Our free summer tech clinic series continues on Tuesday, 7/1/2025 at 6pm at Uphill Pursuits. If you can, please RSVP here so we can estimate number of attendees. Forgot to RSVP? You can still attend!

While so many clinics, classes, and workshops focus on climbing technical systems to get you up the mountain, knowing how to get back down is arguably more crucial. 

On average, approximately one-third of all climbing related accidents are related to the descent. 

This downcraft-based workshop will demonstrate several methods for trusted rappel configurations, how to “bail well”, and some tips and techniques for complex approaches to anchors in broken/blocky/alpine terrain. 

We’ll have anchor boards and some hardware for practice, but you are welcome to bring your own harness, rappel device, locking carabiners, slings/tethers, and prusik cord to practice with. No experience necessary, though a basic understanding of climbing technical systems is recommended.

Join us on Tuesday, 7/1 at 6:00pm!
