Anchor Cleaning Class

In this hour-long class you’ll learn all you need to know to confidently and safely clean an anchor while sport climbing outdoors. Cleaning an anchor means removing all your gear from the wall and lowering off the fixed gear. The class will cover two methods for lowering as well as how to attach into the fixed gear using a personal anchor. Additionally you’ll receive an overview of the different fixed gear setups you could encounter while climbing in the Red.
