What is the Trad/Mental Camp all about? This climbing training camp is specifically targeted to those climbers who want to learn traditional climbing and gain a heightened degree of mental focus through applying the Warrior’s Way program in a trad setting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Who: We are offering a 3-day course, with a maximum of 5:1 client to instructor ratio. We will focus on each climber individually so you get the most from your time. When you leave you’ll climb stronger, smarter, safer, more efficiently, and you’ll have the skills you need for leading traditional routes.
What: Trad/Mental Camp
When: August 6-8 (monday, tuesday, wednesday)
Where: Vedauwoo, WY

Target group: Climbers who do OR do not know trad skills. Those that don't know trad will learn the basics while those that do know trad will learn to refine their skills. Both will learn how to refine their mental focus in trad settings.
---
Skills covered:
1. Improved safety awareness and appropriate risk assessment
2. Learn traditional climbing skills, including setting lead protection and building belay anchors
3. Lead traditional routes safely and efficiently
4. Climb cracks, from finger cracks to offwidths

Will you be providing any training opportunities this fall/winter 07-08 or early spring 08? I am very interested in learning more about intro to trad climbing and also wondering if any self rescue classes are offered? I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Amy

I'm not really into the whole "mental camp" deal, beyond learning not to be mental at all while climbing. But, if there were ever a case study in places where it's challenging to not piss down your leg from over-thinking the whole equation I suspect you will be coming to the right place and hanging out with a couple of guys that have been there and now keep their pants legs dry every time.
