PRIVATE INSTRUCTION

Ready to take your climbing to the next level?

Whether you’re new to climbing or looking to break your plateau, Private Instruction can help you reach your goals with on-the-wall feedback and individualized training plans.

Private Instruction is open to people of all ages and experience levels who would like to advance their climbing skills in a more personalized environment. Whether you're breaking into a new grade, refining technique, or building strength and confidence on the wall, this is the program for you!

You may be wondering—can I bring someone along with me? Yes! You can sign up with 1 or 2 additional participants. We offer discounted pricing for the additional participants—ultimately lowering the price per person when divided evenly. Your price increases by 50% whether you bring 1 or 2 people. For example, if your individual price is $79/hr, the group of 2 or 3 will cost $119/hr ($79 + %50).

There are two instruction options (find price breakdown below):

Level 1: Hands-on, interactive sessions built around live coaching and technical support. During your sessions, your coach will offer real-time feedback on your movement, body positioning, route reading, and climbing strategy. Whether you're looking to clean up your footwork, explore more efficient ways to move, or gain confidence in your climbing decisions, Level 1 is built around observation, feedback, and practice. Your coach can also belay you or help you refine your belay technique, making these sessions a great space to develop both climbing and partner skills. You'll also have time to discuss how to structure your own climbing sessions outside of coaching, including how to begin building a simple training plan, what to focus on, and how to stay consistent with your progress.

Level 2: Includes everything in Level 1, with added structure and long-term planning for climbers who want more in-depth support. In addition to real-time coaching, your instructor will provide written training plans tailored to your goals, both for your sessions together and your independent climbing time. These plans are fully personalized—taking into account your current habits, strengths, and areas for growth—and evolve as you do. Whether you're working toward a specific project, looking to increase strength and endurance, or want help staying accountable to a training routine, Level 2 offers a more comprehensive coaching relationship to help you stay on track and motivated over time.

For both levels, there is no minimum number of sessions you are required to sign up for—come for one session or weekly practices! Signing up for multiple sessions will improve your coaches opportunity to track your progress, work towards personalized goals, and curate curriculum to meet your own individual needs.

If you do not have a consistent schedule, your sessions do not need to occur at the same time every week/month/etc. However, you are responsible for coordinating with your coach to schedule a time that works for both of you.
