Feel the Fear, Climb Anyway — 2 Day Advanced Course

In this advanced course, participants will practice somatic tools specific to lead climbing, fear regulation, and what it means to truly communicate with your belayer. No experience required. No expectation to be fearless. Just you, the wall, and a room full of people willing to show up anyway.

This two-class course is for:
- Climbers who have attempted the Front’s lead test and have been held back by anxiety or fear of falling–not technical skill
- Lead-certified climbers who feel frozen or anxious above the bolt
- Climbers who want to work with lead-specific fear through a somatic, trauma-informed lens
- Allies who want to support survivors and fearful climbers in outdoor spaces
- Anyone who wants to build a more honest, grounded relationship with falling on lead

This course is taught by a certified victim/survivor advocate who is trained in trauma-informed care and is a CWI certified climbing instructor.
