Beyond the world of climbing gyms and bolted sport climbing is traditional climbing, a style of climbing that allows climbers to explore the vertical world without the need for pre-placed bolts and hardware. This style of climbing opens up vast new areas and an abundance of vertical terrain to climbers seeking to diversify their skill set. Kaf guides will teach you the critical foundations to start your development in traditional climbing. You will learn about the crucial tools and practices of the trade that will expand your climbing repertoire. This course will teach you how to place active and passive protection, clean trad gear, build solid anchors, rack up for a climb, safely clean anchors, and rappel. In addition, you will get to practice crack climbing techniques and learn advanced climbing movement that will facilitate your climbing in this new discipline.

This course is the perfect excuse to satiate your appetite for the beautiful outdoors and take advantage of outdoor climbing. Put your bouldering to the test and get your hands onto some real rocks. It's the perfect family and friends outing as well as the perfect opportunity to learn all the necessary skills to pass a top-rope belay test. Take your next Saturday off and spend it out with a Kaf instructor/guide climbing real rock with ropes and harnesses. When you're done, congratulate yourself for breaking through the barrier of entry into rock climbing! Then continue practicing weekly at your favorite climbing gym.
