Intro to Big Wall Clinics

Who:

Ben Wu, AMGA certified Full Rock Guide

What:

Following (jugging, cleaning) & leading (aiding, hauling)

When & Where:

By request. Check my rough schedule to see where I might be: https://www.benwu.photography/schedule. Then, to request a date and location, fill out this contact form: http://www.benwu.photography/contact. I will then schedule a clinic that works for those on the request list.

Private big wall instruction can always be scheduled for lower participant:instructor ratios (more focused instruction) and/or specific scheduling needs.

Details:

  • Prerequisites: multipitch traditional lead experience.

  • Cost: ~$290+tax/person (tip included). Gear is not provided.

    • At least 2 participants required for this clinic to run.

    • Only 4 spots/clinic available.

  • This clinic is simply an introduction to big wall climbing in the context of a single-day big wall (single-day big walls need to be dialed before multiday big walls). A lot more instruction and practice is needed to follow a big wall in good style, and even more is needed to lead a big wall in good style.

  • I highly recommend VDiff’s Big Wall Video Course (https://vdiffclimbing.thinkific.com/courses/big-wall) in conjunction with my private instruction to expedite the training process and get you on those big walls.
