“How to Cry on a Mountain” 

Mental health in the mountains is too often overlooked. It's time we change that.

Join us at the Gravity Lab Thursday, August 7th, 7:00-8:30pm as we discuss the grieving process of mountain sports - specifically climbing. We will hear two different perspectives, a professional counselor and a professional athlete, on their experience and expertise navigating these tough subjects. 

The event is for adults 18+ only.

In this Lead Climbing Clinic, participants will learn essential techniques to sport lead climbing and lead belaying. You will have the opportunity to practice catching and taking lead falls. We will focus on restful clipping stances and how to avoid improper clips, like “backclipping.” This is a great class for climbers interested in moving towards leading sport climbs outside, as we will review basic anchor set-up, cleaning practices and lowering as well.
