Do you want to learn more about traditional climbing, equipment, how to place gear, set up anchors, and more?
Join our workshop weekend, “Trad 101”, at Wilyabrup Sea Cliffs (Margaret River).
This workshop is for those with outdoor sport climbing experience looking to delve into traditional climbing. Over the weekend, you’ll learn about trad gear, placements, sport vs. traditional differences in approaching and assessing a route, anchor building, the merits and drawbacks of various top belay methods, and more. Furthermore, you’ll have opportunities to put theory into action under the expert guidance of our seasoned instructors.

We will be staying at Gracetown Caravan Park. The camping fee from Friday to Sunday is included in the registration fee.

The workshop will run on Saturday from 8:30 am – 5 pm. Sunday will be left optional to have some fun and put the new skills into practice.
