Adv. Footwork w Celeste @ Session Climbing
2025-04-27 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Session Climbing, 965 S A St., Santa Rosa, 95404, United States
Born in the Canadian Rockies, Celeste brings 25 years of climbing experience including over a decade competing on the Canadian national team to her work as a climbing instructor.She has coached competitive teams, designed bouldering specific programs for adult climbers, and dedicated herself to helping others build not just strength, but a deeper connection to the movement and mindset of climbing. Her teaching style is grounded in creativity, exploration, and flow, with a focus on unlocking technique and inspiring climbers to take their skills beyond the gym and into the outdoors.
If you’ve nailed the basics and want to move with more precision, control, and confidence, this workshop is for you. Designed for intermediate climbers, we’ll refine key footwork skills like silent stepping, advanced edging, smearing, flagging, and body positioning. Through focused drills and creative movement challenges, you’ll break out of old habits, learn to read sequences more effectively, and develop the kind of footwork that makes hard climbs feel smoother (and more fun). Less power, more finesse—because great climbing starts from the ground up.

Understanding Fear: Using Psychology to Befriend Your Nervous System and Climb Courageously
2025-07-02 18:30 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | CA
Are you more confident on toprope than on lead?
Do you avoid trying hard out of fear that you will embarrass yourself or get hurt?
Are you more afraid on certain types of routes than others?

For so many of us, these natural human responses to fear can hold us back from climbing at our best, and can eventually limit our enjoyment and mastery of climbing. In this virtual talk, Women’s Lead Club member Dr. Jen Dragonette will explore how fear works in our bodies, and how we can work with our attention, thoughts, breath, and emotions rather than fighting or avoiding them. Participants will come away with exercises to help manage self-defeating thought patterns, improve mindfulness while climbing, and increase mental strength.

Cost: free!
Date: Wednesday July 2 6:30-8:00pm
Where: Virtual @ https://us02web.zoom.us/j/2271635901
