“By and large, the whole thing is a mind game.
It’s a reduction of the most basic actions of breathing and moving...
and knowing, not believing, that you can and will continue.”
Cory Richards, the first American to climb an 8000 m peak in winter.

** Email with your street shoe size so I can reserve any equipment you may need, like your climbing boots or shoes, harness, and/or hardhat.
** Prices include all necessary technical equipment, like climbing shoes, harnesses, hardhats, belay devices, chalk bags, and locking carabiners. If you have your own technical gear, let me know what you’d like to bring.
** You’ll want to bring a high-calorie lunch, two quarts of water, comfortable clothing suitable for the day’s weather, and a day pack—roughly about 1,600–2,400 cu. in. of volume, or 25–40 liters of capacity—to carry your gear.
In addition to climbing shoes, lightweight and supportive approach/descent shoes are recommended for getting to and from rock climbs. Other recommended items include sunscreen, sunglasses, personal medications, and a camera! If you need a pack, a windbreaker, or other items, let me know, and I can help.
I’m happy to talk through any questions you might have.
