Learning to trad climb can open the door to deeper adventure, confidence, and connection in climbing — but access to quality education, mentorship, and guided experience is often financially out of reach for many climbers.

Our Intro to Trad Climbing Clinic is designed to create a welcoming and supportive space for climbers who want to begin building the skills needed to safely and confidently explore traditional climbing. Through hands-on instruction, participants learn foundational skills including gear placements, anchor building, rope management, leader safety, and risk assessment while receiving direct coaching from experienced guides.

But learning trad climbing doesn’t happen in a weekend alone.

That’s why we’re expanding this program to include optional mentorship and progression days, allowing participants to continue practicing skills alongside guides after the clinic ends. These additional guided days help climbers build mileage, confidence, decision-making skills, and long-term competence in outdoor climbing systems.

Progression Packages

She Sends Progression Packages are designed to help climbers continue building confidence, skills, and independence beyond the clinic environment.

Many climbers leave a clinic feeling inspired and excited, but unsure how to continue practicing safely and effectively on their own. Our Progression Packages bridge that gap by pairing your clinic experience with guided mentorship days focused on continued learning, repetition, and personalized coaching.

These follow-up sessions allow climbers to reinforce the skills introduced during the clinic while working toward their individual climbing goals with professional support. Whether you're learning to place gear, build anchors, lead trad routes, improve multipitch efficiency, gain confidence leading sport routes, or simply spend more time developing outdoor climbing systems, progression happens through intentional practice and mentorship.

Progression Packages are offered at a discounted rate when bundled with your clinic registration and can be customized to your experience level, goals, and schedule. Whenever possible, participants will continue working with the same guide from their clinic to support consistency, trust, and long-term progression.

Location

This clinic will take place in Jefferson County or Boulder County, Colorado.
Final location details will be sent via email from your guide approximately 1–2 weeks before the clinic.

Locations are selected based on weather, conditions, and the needs of the group.
