About Genevieve Walker:
Genevive is a dedicated Single Pitch Instructor and Rock Guide Apprentice with six years of guiding experience. She began her climbing journey in the Northeast, where she immediately noticed the limited diversity in outdoor spaces. However, it wasn’t until she embarked on a life of full-time travel that she fully grasped the scale of this disparity. Motivated by a deep passion for climbing, she became a guide with a clear mission: to share her love of the sport with her community, hoping to inspire more people to explore the outdoors and experience the joys of nature. After working with several women-owned guiding companies, Genevive chose to forge her own path, focusing directly on her mission. She remains deeply committed to empowering women and people of the global majority through education, connection, compassion, and boundless enthusiasm for the outdoors.
About Fundamentals of Anchor Building and Cleaning:
Acquiring the knowledge to safely build anchors is a fundamental skill to climbing outdoors. In this course you will learn how to build a few different anchors in a sport climbing setting and safely break them down. We will also cover a few knots that are heavily utilized in outdoor climbing. Demonstration and practice of systems will happen on the ground before transitioning onto the wall. Traditional gear anchors will not be covered in this course. The big takeaway from this clinic is to gain more competence in these technical skills so you can safely enjoy a day at the crag with more confidence!
