We're offering an 8 week climbing course to help you improve and learn to train self sufficiently.\nGrit climbing's course will not only teach you to climb better\, but to teach you how to improve independently. They aim to impart all the knowledge needed to iden tify and work on personal weaknesses\, how to effectively train\, how to p lan training programmes over a range of timescales and\, most importantly\ , how to coach eachother and excel at the sport together.\nClimbing is a s port that is 60% skill and 40% strength and so training plans that focus o n purely the strength aspect of climbing miss out on key components that h ave a major impact on climbing. Grit's philosophy is that training should be more focused on techniques before anything else (for example\, enduranc e\, strength and power training). This is why the first part of the course will be focused on building climbing basics\, correcting any bad habits y ou've picked up and creating a solid foundation for improvement. The secon d part of the course will then be building the skills and teamwork to beco me independent and continue improve once the course is over.\nThe price fo r the full course is $160\, not including gym entry and gear hire. This am ount is subsidised by the club so don't miss out! In addition to this\, if you lead a trip or have lead a trip in the past 12 months the price will be further subsidised to $140. The location will most probably be at 9D wa terloo\, however it could be possible to move to the Ledge if the cost pro ves prohibitive. The timings are not yet set and will be finalised accordi ng to the availability of the people who sign up.\nThere are only 15 spots available and it will be first come first serve so make sure you sign up quick! Signups will open TOMORROW (Sunday 27th March) at 5PM here.\nPlease note that this is not for absolute beginners\, you should have 3-6 months of climbing experience. If you still want to please sign up\, but prefere nce will be given to those with some experience. Please let me know your e xperience level in the comments.\n\n \;\nThe Coaches:\n@Tahliaclimbs w ill be the main coach for this course.
