On the Spot: Mastering Onsight Climbing

About Tammy Wilson: 

Hey, I’m Tammy! When I moved to Mammoth Lakes, I discovered climbing, and my first outdoor climb in Bishop, Payahüünadü (Land of the Flowing Water), inspired me to dive deeper into the sport and explore the mountains in a whole new way. A decade later, I’m still based in the Sierra, splitting my time between the Sierra and Vegas. I’m a mountain runner, alpine climber, and passionate about exploring the Sierra’s peaks. I’ve onsighted up to 5.13- and climbed multiple 5.13+ routes. Whether it's climbing, ultra running, or peak bagging, I’m always seeking new adventures in the mountains!

About On the Spot: Mastering Onsight Climbing:

Are you someone who fears the unknown when it comes to climbing? Do you find yourself sitting at every bolt, rehearsing all the moves before you attempt the send? Are you looking to level up your onsight game, feel more confident trying harder routes, and learn how to read a route from the ground? Don’t even know what onsighting is? Then this clinic is for you! Together, we’ll tackle the mental side of climbing—learning how to push through fear and stay calm on the route. You’ll pick up tips and tricks to help you send your hardest onsight yet, all while having fun! Get ready to challenge yourself, trust your instincts, and enjoy the process.
