Bouldering Clinics

Bouldering clinics at ACG are taught by one of the gym’s owners, who have years of experience in both indoor and outdoor bouldering. Clinics focus on technique, common climbing terms and language, pad placement for outdoor bouldering, etiquette for indoor and outdoor climbing, spotting technique, and other skills. Safe climbing is a focus of every class.

Both members and guests are welcome to participate in classes. Classes range in size from two to eight people. Class size may be limited so that each participant has ample time to try out the skills being taught and receive help. ACG’s bouldering area has ample space so that others can still free climb during a class. Check the calendar for upcoming classes, or call the gym to schedule a private class with your friends or a group.
