Women's Clinic is changing...

Hello Ladies,

I hope everyone is enjoying the awesome climbing weather and you all are getting out and crushing.

I just want to let you all know that starting as of May the Women's Clinic is going to undergo some changes.

First off, we will be having only one clinic per month to be held on the last Friday of each month. Secondly, each clinic will be much more structured than they are right now. I will have a specific topic that I will be covering in each clinic. For example, we may spend one clinic focusing on a technical element like cleaning sport anchors, it may be a technique like better footwork, or a mental element like learning to be o.k. with falling. So, continue to watch for updates and posts on what each Clinic will focus on.

Some things won't change. The clinics, as always, are a supportive environment in which to climb, a great opportunity to meet other women climbers and a lot of fun.

So, for the recap, Women's Clinic, as of May, is the last Friday of each month from 6 to 8 pm.

I hope to see you there,

Thanks Sam
Women's Clinic Instructor
