The Red River Gorge is the home to world class single pitch sport and crack climbing. The extremely pocketed sandstone cliffs of the Red River Gorge are hidden throughout the forest of central Kentucky. Miles of cliff provide plenty of terrain to work on your climbing technique and practice new skills such as lead climbing, anchor cleaning and transitioning to outdoor climbing.
The emphasis of this program is all about climbing techniques needed to climb all angles of rock from technical slabs to overhanging pockets. Female guides will provide a fun, safe and encouraging environment for you to hone your new skills.
There are 5 different skill levels of clinics to choose from and we maintain a small 4:1 ratio so you will have lots of personalized instruction. Each level is comprehensive and aims to make you a more confident and self-reliant climber.
Includes:
- 3 days guided climbing
- 3 nights accommodations at Cliffview Resort
- 3 Dinners
- 4 to 1 ratio, small group sizes
- Demo climbing gear from our sponsors: Petzl, Black Diamond, Osprey, Scarpa and more
- Custom Chicks chalkbag by Krieg Climbing
- Sponsor gift bag
