Pure Force: Foundational Strength for Climbers
Building effective strength is a cornerstone of any training program. Strength enables better practice, makes you more durable, and addresses weak points in your climbing. In this (free) practical workshop we'll cover movement selection, proper rest, scheduling and more as we work through a strength session. We'll cover key topics as we go so participants can both learn and apply the concepts.
Come ready to train and learn!

Training Consults in Durango
2 days in Durango at Gravity Lab!
1 hour training consults where we’ll dive into what makes your climbing tick and what is holding you back! I’ll take a close look at your climbing, training history, and goals to identify the biggest opportunities for improvement.
Before the session, participants will complete a questionnaire about their climbing experience, current training and goals. Then during the session, Sebastian will assess movement and training habits, identify skills and weaknesses that may be limiting progress, and help you focus on the areas that will move the needle most.
Following the session, each participant will receive a written breakdown of the assessment, including specific recommendations for what to work on. You’ll also recieve a 20% discount on a training block with Etude!
9/29 and 9/30, please see link below for available times.

Flash Boulders Better in Joe's Valley
Etude is sponsoring Joe’s Fest this year! Come say hi at my tent or join me for a morning of flashing boulders at my workshop on Saturday.
Nothing feels quite the same as pulling onto a boulder the first time and climbing well. But practicing this skill is deceptively difficult - if you only have one chance, how do you make sure that go counts? This clinic teaches climbers how to develop a thorough and effective process for flashing boulders. We’ll go over route reading, terrain assessment, building a plan and execution tactics, then work on applying those to make that first go the best one!
Prerequisite: climb V4
Saturday 10/3 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. at Joe’s Valley.
