Women's Climbing Courses & Clinics
Self-Rescue
What do you do when you are 4 pitches off the ground and your partner gets injured, you rappelled past the anchor, or the terrain is simply too hard!? Having a handful of tricks up your sleeve could make the difference between having a small misadventure or a call-for-a-rescue epic.
The Details
This 2-day clinic will cover the following skills:
- Mastery of ATC guide or Reverso (or other tube-style locking belay devices) - They are useful for SO MUCH MORE than just belaying!
- Load transfers - belay escape, passing a knot, etc.
- Rope ascension
- Rappels - preventing things from going wrong and what to do when things do go wrong.
- Hauling systems
Day One:
- Meet your instructor, Katie Paulson, at Smith Rock State Park at 8:00 am

Day Two:
- Build upon and practice skills taught on day one

The Guide
Katie has been climbing for over 15 years, and is in her second season of guiding with She Moves Mountains, as well as the Northwest Mountain School in Leavenworth, Washington. Her real passion for climbing exists along ragged ridges, tracing lines across the sky high in the mountains. She has a long resume of alpine routes throughout the Western United States, and Canada.
Katie knows the value of having, and being, a strong and confident partner in the mountains, especially if things go wrong. She loves teaching and geeking out over rope systems and skills!
