SMITH ROCK SPRING SKILLS SERIES
If you’re anything like us, you’re probably dreaming of the next big climb, well - all the time basically.
If you need a few things to make that dream a reality though, our skills courses are here to help. Covering the essentials of the climber’s toolkit, we’ve customized our courses to help you learn the techniques you’ll need to get up and down your dream routes in style.
Efficiency in Multipitch Climbing
Whether you’re looking to get into multi-pitch climbing or just want to do it better and go bigger, this course is for you.
Leading Trad and Crack Climbing
It doesn’t matter whether you’re interested in Indian Creek splitters, Yosemite big walls or just building a foundation to expand your skills, this is your chance.
Learn to Lead
This one-day course will cover everything you need to know to take the sharp end of the rope and lead sport climbs safely.
Big Wall 101: Intro to Aid & Wall Climbing
If you’ve been dreaming of hanging high above the valley floor, this clinic might be for you.
Self Rescue for Climbers
Like it or not, the unexpected sometimes happens. This course will teach you everything you need to know to get you and your partner out of a bind when it does.
All of our spring courses are at beautiful Smith Rock State Park, are taught by IFMGA Mountain Guide and AMGA Rock Guide Chris Wright, and are designed to get you dialed. Each course will be conducted in a small group setting, allowing for strict adherence to social-distancing and COVID-related protocols, and to ensure each participant receives the care and attention they need.
Check out these other upcoming trips we’re excited about too.
Smith Rock Guided Climbing
Come climb at Smith Rock with IFMGA Mountain Guide and AMGA Certified Rock Guide Chris Wright.
One-on-one guided climbing, private groups, instruction and custom bookings are available year round. Join us to climb the iconic Monkey Face, learn to lead sport or trad outside, or just come see why so many climbers love Smith as much as they do.
Leonidio Climber’s Retreat
Need some sunny sport climbing in your life? Maybe a dip in the sea, a little culture, a delicious meal and a glass of wine? Us too.
Come join us in Greece to unplug with a week of the best rock climbing the Mediterranean has to offer in the climber’s paradise of Leonidio.
Smith Rock Climbers Camp
We’re still working out the details on this one, but check back for more info soon. We’re hoping by fall we’ll be back to climbing rocks and going to the brewery afterwards, and we’d love to have you out to Central Oregon to do both of those things with us.
Think summer camp but for adults, and in the fall, and with food, drinks, no counselors, and a nicer house.
