Intro to Lead Climbing with Sophia

Have you ever wanted to dip your toes into the world of lead climbing? This clinic will allow you the opportunity to give it a shot! We will cover the very basics of lead climbing: clipping technique, rope maintenance, and on-wall safety. You'll get your chance to mock lead climb while on top rope, allowing you to hone in on your new skills.

Please note this clinic does not cover lead belay skills. A more comprehensive Lead Clinic is available at all Touchstone Climbing rope-climbing locations.

Clinic Locations

Woman Up 2026 clinics will take place across multiple Touchstone gyms in California. By expanding beyond a single location, we can reach more of our community and create greater access and opportunities to participate. Interested in what’s being offered? Check out the clinics here.
