These clinics and safety workshops are FREE for current students and for faculty/staff members with a UREC Pass. You can sign up for one of our signature clinics, or we can work with you on other adventure activities.

Signature Clinics

Introduction to Climbing Movement

Whether you can do 50 pull-ups or none, this clinic will enhance your rock-climbing technique beyond belief. You will learn climbing terminology, proper bouldering and spotting techniques, and how to incorporate balance and core strength into your climbing. (Clinic length: 1.5 hours)

Top Rope Belay

Expand your rock-climbing skills. This clinic helps you avoid the waiting list and teaches you how to effectively belay your climbing partner. Belaying is a technique that protects a climber through the use of rope, harnesses, anchors, carabiners and mechanical friction. The climber’s partner, the belayer, uses this technique to catch, hold and lower the climber should they fall. Climbing equipment is included for clinic participants, but spots are limited. (Clinic length: 2 hours)

Instructors in this clinic will help you make the difference in your trip from having an ok time, to a memorable experience. You’ll also learn how to choose and fit a backpack. (Clinic length: 1 hour)
