Sport Anchor Building & Cleaning Clinic

The cornerstone of safety. Learn and practice the fundamentals of building anchor systems applicable to any top rope, lead, or multi pitch climb outside. This class covers SERENE anchor principles, modern anchor systems (BHK, Figure 8, Girth X, Quick Draw, and Single Locker anchors) their applicability, and pros and cons. Also covered are extension options, personal anchor systems (PAS), and cleaning. Practice culminates in a mini anchor building competition. Following morning sessions of this clinic will be an optional guided outdoor field trip afterwards, sport climbing in Angeles Crest to hang, and practice newly minted skills.
