This course is run in partnership with .

Flash Foxy Education courses are only open to women and genderqueer climbers. All courses will be taught by women and genderqueer instructors.

CLIMBER REQUIREMENTS:

Must be able to comfortably top rope 5.9 (at course venue). Must know how to lead belay. Some experience leading traditional climbs is required. Participants have led a minimum of five climbs on at least two separate occasions.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This training addresses falling directly to help improve commitment. Participants start with progressive falling practice followed by movement, breathing, resting, and body/mind awareness exercises. Participants will leave understanding how to take appropriate risks and how to commit to those risks. Participants will practice the following skills during this course: fall properly, give a dynamic (cushioned) belay, break a climb into smaller risk events, assess risk effectively, distinguish between no- and yes-fall zones, engage no- and yes-fall zones appropriately, make appropriate risk decisions, improve body/mind awareness, rest effectively, improve breathing, create flow and momentum, deal with climbing stress, commit more deliberately, reduce fear, and more!
