Beginner Climbing Clinic: Find Your Climbing Legs 🚵♀️
Terrace climb trails got you like 😩? You’re not alone—and we're here to help.
Join us for a beginner-friendly session focused entirely on the art of the climb. Whether you're tackling gentle inclines or short punchy sections that sneak up out of nowhere, we’ll break down the techniques that make climbing feel smoother (and dare we say... enjoyable?).
In this 2-hour clinic, we’ll cover:
🔁 Cadence & Shifting – Learn when (and how) to shift so your legs don’t burn out halfway up
🧭 Line Choice – Pick the smoothest path to the top and avoid those sneaky energy traps
🚲 Front Wheel Lift – Get your wheel up and over roots, rocks, and trail lips without losing momentum
🔄 Ratcheting – Master short pedal strokes to keep you moving forward

Let’s climb together and turn those uphill struggles into small wins and big grins. 🙌
