CMC Anchors Training
Sunday, June 29th, 2025 | 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM
Develop and refine fundamental traditional anchor-building skills with this custom course for CMC members only. Get familiar with knots and core equipment, explore anchor theory and elementary physics concepts, and build simple anchor systems using natural protection (like trees and boulders).
The experiential course format involves lots of hands-on practice with gear and concepts, ensuring you can apply concepts over varying contexts to hone your decision-making skills and apply different tools. Note this course will focus on skill-building and practice and will not involve rock climbing. Our hope is that by prioritizing supervised practice and feedback, students will be more comfortable venturing out on their own to climb post-course!
***This course will not run if less than five participants enroll.***
This course is made possible in part through generous funding from the Chicago Mountaineering Club and the Mountaineering Foundation of Chicago.
