Location: Day one will be spent at Wasootch
Course Content: This course is aimed at novice to intermediate rock climbers with some indoor or outdoor climbing experience. Sport climbing leaders (leading with bolts) of all abilities will also find this course valuable in making the transition from bolts to traditional protection. The curriculum would include: crack climbing techniques, gear placements, anchor construction and leading strategies.
Prerequisites: This is not a beginner course so some climbing experience is necessary. At the minimum, participants should have at least climbed in a gym and can offer a safe top-rope belay.

If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons.
