Camp description: This camp addresses fear of falling and improving commitment. We’ll do
falling, movement, and resting exercises and apply all learned skills to challenging routes. We’ll
do this in small increments creating appropriate progressions for each individual student. You’ll
leave with a structured method for taking appropriate risks with diminished fear.

You’ll learn:
• To fall safely
• To give a cushioned belay
• To distinguish between no- and yes-fall zones
• How to engage no- and yes-fall zones
• To break a climb into smaller risk events
• Better risk assessment
• How to rest effectively
• To improve breathing
• To trust the body
• To create flow and momentum
• To commit more deliberately
• To reduce fear
