Intermediate Slab Clinic

Ready to feel steadier and more confident on slab?

Join Grace, our resident slab whisperer, for a supportive, technique-focused session designed to turn hesitation into intention on slab.

Slab can feel mysterious with tiny footholds, subtle body shifts, and the doubt that can override that “trust your foot” moment. This intermediate clinic focuses on the techniques that make slab climbing click while also helping you build confidence on lower-angle terrain. Through mobility and strength exercises, movement skills, and on-the-wall drills, you’ll learn precise footwork, smart positioning, when to use each skill, and strategies to manage the fear that often shows up on slab so you can move more calmly and confidently.

TOPICS COVERED

  • How to warm up for slab movements
  • Mobility and strength exercises that will help improve slab climbing
  • Proper execution of slab techniques and when to use these skills
  • Drills and exercises for improving technique

About Grace

Hi I’m Grace! I started climbing when I was 8 years old and went to a friend’s birthday party at a climbing gym. I fell in love with the sport and it’s been a huge part of my life since then.
My background is in competition climbing, where I competed as a youth in bouldering and sport climbing at the local, provincial, and national levels. I love climbing not only for the great physical and mental workout, but for the wonderful community surrounding the sport. My favourite has always been slab climbing, but I can be persuaded onto the occasional overhang route!
I’m also a student at the University of Alberta, where I’m pursuing my BSc in immunology and infection.
