ABOUT THIS TRIP

Moab, Utah is a desert oasis for climbers, mountain bikers and hikers. Just outside of town stunning towers and sandstone faces await to get your slab climbing, crimping face and crack skills on point!

New to crack climbing? Never explored the Utah desert? Or never even climbed outside? This clinic is for you! We will introduce you to crack and face climbing technique. By covering outdoor climbing fundamentals, IRIS will teach you the skills to be a competent climbing partner outside in the single pitch environment.

 

Been to the Creek but missed out on Moab? If you’ve been crack climbing but want to explore the world of face and crack climbing on sandstone, join IRIS! Or maybe you’ve plateaued and need some guidance to up your skill level.

 

IRIS guides are EXCELLENT educators; skilled at communicating and coaching, great at taking a big concept and breaking it into digestible steps, and dedicated to facilitating an educational environment where participants can absorb and apply the information.

 

The folks you’ll climb with will become fast friends. A two day program is the right amount of time to progress in your climbing, build new belaytionships, and enjoy the beauty of the Moab desert!
