Los Angeles
Intro to Bouldering
Community Climbing with Usal.
Considering the large impact LA has endured in the last weeks, I wanted to provide my community with an opportunity to decompress, engage, and reset in beautiful nature with fellow community members who have been affected by the latest inequalities throughout our city. With that said I've decided to offer the Intro to Bouldering event free of charge! Let's all get together in nature and heal. Let's climb rocks together and create a safe environment for everyone. – Jah
This intro workshop is designed for anyone who has had an interest in experiencing what it's like to boulder outdoors with an experienced and dedicated guide, to ensure an incredible day full of fun with like-minded individuals. With an emphasis on safety, fun, and Leave No Trace principles, this workshop will also teach basic techniques, safety protocols, and much more. Whether you're an experienced gym climber or someone who has absolutely no experience at all, this workshop will set you up to have the best time and education so that you can pursue your own journey on the stones.
