Crack Climbing Technique

Like most styles of climbing, crack climbing is all about technique. At our one and two-day Crack Climbing Clinics, we'll get you up to speed on the techniques you need to climb cracks like never before. Kicking off the day with demos on how to properly tape and protect your hands, we’ll then transition into a range of crack climbing techniques, from finger locks to toe jams, before heading to the rock. Following the on-rock portion of our crack climbing lessons, you'll have the unique opportunity to practice everything you just learned using our crack-simulation boards. What to expect: To provide the opportunity to practice jamming at the crag, we'll set up top-ropes on routes ranging from 5.9 - 5.11. The grades may seem intimidating at first, but we guarantee that by applying your newly acquired, proper crack climbing techniques, it will all begin to make sense! We look forward to hand jamming with you at one of our upcoming She Moves Mountains Crack Climbing Technique Clinics—sign up now and we'll see you there!
