Top-rope soloing opens up a whole new dimension of climbing independence — but it demands clean systems, sound judgment, and zero shortcuts. This full-day clinic with guide, coach, and rescue professional Ty Vineyard offers a disciplined, structured introduction to TR soloing with a strong emphasis on redundancy and risk management. You'll work through TR solo system setup, device options and gear considerations, rope management, anchor and cliff-access considerations, and transitions while soloing. The focus will be on building a practical understanding of how these systems work, where common mistakes happen, and how to develop the habits that keep you safe in a high-consequence environment. Leave with the knowledge and confidence to begin practicing TR soloing on your own — correctly.
Skill Level: Intermediate.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own relevant gear if they have it (trad rack, assisted braking device, Micro Trax, etc.).
