We’ve all been there, run out on a slab of a multipitch we thought was only going to be crack climbing, slightly freaking out. It’s no fun, but what is fun is learning how to tame these improbable walls!

Without further ado we’d like to introduce local Squamish slab queen who’s running a Slab Technique clinic at Rock and Rise on Sunday the 28th of June. Renée is a fiend on the slabs (8a slabs ✅) and is more than well equipped to teach us about how balance, body positioning, foot work, pressure, and even the type of shoes all play a part in how we can up our slab game wether for multi or single pitch.

Come learn from this black cat q***r who’s also going to be djing for us Saturday night! 🥳👯
