Fundamentals
Climbing is a movement skill long before it is a strength sport. These videos cover the footwork, body positioning, and movement concepts that let beginners climb harder routes without simply pulling harder.

Belaying
Belaying is the partnership at the heart of roped climbing. Your partner trusts you with their fall. These videos cover top-rope belay technique, tying in with a figure-8, and the habits that make you a safe, attentive belayer.

Lead Climbing
Moving from top-rope to lead is the biggest step in a climber's progression: clipping quickdraws, managing the rope, and learning to fall safely. These videos break the transition down so it feels like a skill, not a leap.

Trad Climbing
Traditional climbing means placing your own protection and trusting it. These videos cover reading rock for placements, setting nuts and cams, and judging gear you would stake your life on, the core skill of the trad discipline.

Gear

Knots
A handful of knots carry most of a day at the crag. These videos cover the figure 8 follow-through you tie in with, the clove hitch for attaching to an anchor, the Munter hitch for belaying or lowering with only a carabiner, and the stopper knot that keeps a rappel or a lower from running off the end of the rope.
