Trad Tactics Clinic with Ian Cooper

This session will be split with some time rope climbing and some time bouldering. We will run through various jamming techniques and associated gear sizes by feel, how to fully relax on holds and some tricks for resting or placing gear. There will also be a discussion on route visualisation and practising getting comfortable with falling and trusting gear.
