Workshop: All the tall things – Friday 25

Ready to take your bouldering to new heights?

This workshop will explore the tips, tricks and techniques for approaching highballs safely and confidently, from preparation and protection to the physical and mental aspects of climbing when the ground starts to feel very far away.

You’ll learn how to work a highball before attempting it, using top ropes and fixed ropes, how to build and use anchors, rappel safely, position crash pads and assess the risks before committing to the free ascent.

The workshop will also focus on the mental and physical approach to highball climbing: managing fear, building confidence, understanding when you’re ready to commit and making smart decisions before leaving the ground.

With James Pearson, Jacopo Larcher & Melissa La Nevé
