Every Monday evening we offer a free Technique Lesson, aimed mainly at helping new climbers to build their climbing skills. It's also part of our efforts to build a fun community around the gym. The topics rotate somewhat regularly among the following:
- Hold Recognition
- Sequencing
- Foot work
- Heel hooking
- Bouldering Safety
- Dynamic Movement
- Flagging
- Crack Climbing
- Resting on a Route
- Slacklining
Starting on Monday, September 27th, we add a new topic to the mix. Dan Iaboni, owner of
The Monkey Vault Parkour Gym, has agreed to join us every couple of months to give an introduction to Parkour. If you're not familiar with Parkour, it's a sort of urban gymnastics that has people doing amazing tricks and movements around and on obstacles that can be found in a city landscape. Dan has established the Monkey Vault to help people train safely indoors before trying anything too crazy outdoors.
Dan was here with some simple equipment last Friday to work out the logistics of the intro session. He has some simple things that even beginners can do to explore movement and get a bit of an idea of how to get started at Parkour. It should be a pretty fun session; don't miss it! Like every Monday Technique Lesson, it's free with membership or admission to the gym.
