Two Clinics in Texas

We’re coming to Texas! In the next two months, there will be two USA Climbing sanctioned Level 1 Routesetting Clinics held in the Austin region.

These clinics are a great opportunity to learn the basics of competition routesetting, improve skills and techniques for commercial setting, and work with a top USA Climbing National setter.

Level 1 Clinics cover bouldering and roped terrain, focusing on techniques for efficient routesetting, theory and tools to understand and create climbing movement effectively, and tricks and tips for competition routesetting.
