Join us in the MITOC climbing wall where I will quickly demonstrate how to clean sport anchors safely and quickly. You'll have plenty of time to practice and ask questions and by the end you should feel comfortable trying to clean a few routes outside with a wizened mentor by your side.

The Who

You're new to climbing and you love it! You can't wait to get your pump on at Rumney or explore Farley with a grizzled mentor. Or maybe you have been scampering up top-rope routes for a while and you're interested in doing some leading. You're ready to take your climbing to the next level!

Either way, you're going to need to know how to clean a sport anchor. While the activity may seem so boring and maybe tedious, unless you plan on leaving 20$ worth of gear on top of every single route you climb, you're probably going to want to learn how to safely clean sport anchors.

Note

This course is HIGHLY recommended for any beginners who feel they are already falling in love with climbing. It is also HIGHLY recommended for anyone who has been climbing (lead or not) outside several times but has NOT ever cleaned an anchor.
