Clinic tickets

More details on each individual clinic and it's prerequisites and gear requirements can be found here. 

All clinics require participants to have:

• Harness

• Shoes

• Climbing helmet

• Belay device. 

We have these available for those who require rental gear, please let us know in advance (in the registration form).  Please bring remaining gear detailed under each clinic if you already have it. Learning on your own equipment can help to build familiarity and answer any questions specific to your circumstances. If you do not already own this gear, many find it helpful to wait until after the clinic to purchase it as you have a better idea of what you need, which isn’t necessarily everything listed. Email programming@rock-and-rise.com with any gear or clinic specific questions.
