Rock Movement Clinic - Red Rock
In collaboration with The Mountain Guides, Tsopani is offering a 3-day Clinic with AMGA certified guides and climbing coaches to help improve your movement in rock-climbing.
This is open to anyone who is interested in pushing their grades to a higher level. Additionally this clinic will offer tips and progressions for anyone that wants to work towards the movement standard in their next AMGA Rock Program. This clinic is focused on movement specifically, not on gear placement, anchor building, or rope systems.
