Rope Climb Workshop with Abbie Rooney

This hands-on workshop will break down rope climbing from the ground up, helping participants build the strength, technique, coordination, and confidence needed to climb more efficiently. Whether you're working toward your first rope climb or looking to improve your speed and movement, Abbie will bring a unique aerial-performance perspective to the fundamentals of climbing.

The workshop will cover:

• Proper foot locks and rope-climbing technique
• Efficient use of the legs to reduce upper-body fatigue
• Grip, pulling strength, and body positioning
• Beginner progressions for building toward a full climb
• Techniques for more experienced athletes looking to climb faster and smoother
• Safe climbing, descending, and rope management
• Tips and drills drawn from Abbie's experience as an aerial performer and trainer

All experience levels are welcome. No previous rope-climbing experience is required, and movements can be scaled to meet each participant where they are.

Come learn a new skill, challenge yourself, and experience rope climbing through the eyes of a professional aerial athlete.
