Friction climbing for Basic Students. Icicle Canyon, Leavenworth. Limit 6 students.
Intended primarily for students in this year’s Basic Climbing Course (all branches + Seattle Intensive), but open to basic graduates, basic equivalents, alpine scramblers, and anyone who has some top-roped climbing experience.
Friction is the technique used to climb slabs where there are no obvious hand or foot holds. Strength means nothing, hardware is superfluous; it’s all about balance and movement. You will learn slow motion dance on rock. All climbing will be safely top-roped.
