Although there is not an abundance of quality trad climbing there is ample opportuntiy for practice and learning. All of our instructors are certified and examined in traditional terrain. Most of them climb big walls. All of them climb at least 5.11 trad. They are good role models and can be counted on to demonstrate safe climbing techniques that you can take home with you.
