Elite Climbing :: Advanced – Kris Hampton
Are you stuck at climbing 5.12 and looking to push your limits and break into 5.13 and beyond? Kris Hampton from The Power Company will share with you the habits he's learned from some of the best climbers in the world. Not only how to train to push past your plateau, but how to structure your climbing day, how to approach hard redpoints, and the mental space needed to climb to your potential. -
Quick Fix Techniques :: All Levels - Karsten Delap
What do you do when you’re cleaning a route and your locking biner gets stuck and you cannot seem to get it open? What do you do when a bit of hair gets stuck in your rappel device? How do you get back on the rock when your feet are dangling in space and you cant quite reach the roof – and your partner is belaying from above? Karsten Delap of Fox Mountain Guides will answer these questions and more. He will give you quick fix techniques for some of the most annoying and troublesome problems that arise in climbing. -
Footwork and Technique :: Beginner – Margarita Martinez
Learn to rely less on brute strength and more on finesse, balance, and technique. Believe it or not, you can cheat gravity with the right body position, footwork, and relaxed grip. -
Multipitch Efficiency :: Beginner/Intermediate - Brittany Griffith
This is your chance to learn muti-pitch systems with a focus on equipment, route-finding, belaying, safety, and speed. Multi-pitch systems can be incredibly complex, and the best way to refine your skills is to examine each part of the system by itself. In this course, we will do just this: look at every element of your system and help you to make it better. On this course, we do not climb a multi-pitch route, but use a ground school to practice the specific systems required to climb a multi-pitch route effectively. Once you have completed this course, you will be able to take the skills learned in this setting and apply them to long multi-pitch climbs. -

This course gives you the skills to start working through safely leading a traditional climb. -

Intro to Sport Climbing with Beginner Tactics :: Beginner – Nick Duttle

I agree to the following terms
Professional athletes and local guides will administer clinics. The clinic will focus on climbing technique, therefore all participants will be on top rope. (The instructor cannot teach if they are worried that the participant won't make the next clip.) Due to insurance reasons, all participants must wear a helmet while climbing. Participants must also attend a pre-clinic meeting Saturday night at 7:30pm to discuss the next day's activities, ask questions, and sign waivers.
Clinics are subject to change. If you are in a clinic that is changed, you will be notified by the Clinic's Manager via email and you will have a chance to change or cancel your choice then.
Other Options
Would you like to pre-order an RRGCC Rocktoberfest T-Shirt?
- When you pre-order shirts, you guarantee that you'll have one set aside for you.
- We don't have the design finalized just yet but we promise they are stylish.
- MntRanks is putting together this year's shirts so you know the above point is true.
- Women! Just so you're aware - the shirts can often be sized a little small so you mean want to upsize a touch.

(Will cost $15 at the door)
I would like to donate a little something extra to the RRGCC, to help out even more with the purchase of the PMRP!
- It's good, solid karma.
- Claim it on your taxes (we're 501c3, which means we're cool with Uncle Sam).
- It helps secure more than 400 routes.
- Your mom would be proud.. (really, she would)

Next Steps
To secure your choices and your prices, you must pay now. If you don't, not only will we shake our heads in disappointment when you show up at the registration desk but also ask you to shell out a few extra bucks since paying at the door will be more expensive. That and we can't guarantee that your selections now will be available at the event unless you pay.
