BEGINNER FOCUSED Sport Climbing Clinic at Hillbilly Hollow

Hey Hoofers,

Join me and Sahil for a beginner sport climbing clinic at Hillbilly Hollow next week Saturday, October 12th!

We will meet at the circle of Memorial Union at 8:15 am and aim to return around 3 pm. Our return time is flexible depending on everyone’s schedules.

This clinic is of course open to all climbers, but we will be focused on introductory topics. If you have never sport climbed before, if you know a little bit about it, if you want to brush up on the basics, this is the event for you! Our biggest emphases will be on belay and clipping technique as well as comfortability on the wall. If you do not know what that means, do not worry; this is still the event for you!

That said, if you already know how to sport climb or already know this material, I implore you to leave theses spots for beginners. These clinics are in high demand right now, so if you know what you are doing, please look for intermediate clinics or socials.

Expect to venmo drivers about $5 for gas.

If you have a car and are willing to drive, please reach out to me cmclaughlin3@wisc.edu so I can add more participant spots!

If you need gear, please reach out to our gear managers at gearmanager@hoofermountaineering.org

Cheers!
