You don't have to be an expert climber to learn to lead trad. I learned to climb by following 5.6 trad routes. My goal was to explore the mountains and to climb as many alpine rock routes as possible. For over a year I climbed 5.8 trad routes in Washington, the Bugaboos, and Patagonia.
Whether your goal is to climb splitters in Indian Creek, scale big walls in Yosemite, or explore the mountains - leading trad is a valuable skill. We teach at a low difficulty level to allow climbers to focus on getting comfortable with gear.
