Most climbers are just hoping nothing goes wrong o Most climbers are just hoping nothing goes wrong out there.
And when it does? They’re relying on someone else to bail them out.

But what if you were the one with the skills to prevent the epic—or solve it smoothly when things go sideways?

Our Intro to Self Rescue course cuts through the armchair talk and gets you hands-on with the essential tools and techniques you’re most likely to actually use. It's a crash course in real-world competence.

Yeah, "self rescue" doesn’t sound sexy. But you know what is?

💦 Handling a stuck rope like a boss
🍑 Solving rappel snafoos with ease 
💋 Managing weird multipitch moments smoothly

These are big wall skills, efficiency skills, comfort skills—mastery skills.

Don’t just get away with it. Learn how to avoid the epic in the first place.

New to rescue? This course is for you. Already have some experience? Check out our Rescue | Beyond the Basics course June 1st to level up.

This is lifelong learning, folks. Use it or lose it.

This trip is a 1 to 3 day a-la-carte climbing work This trip is a 1 to 3 day a-la-carte climbing workshop that focuses on a variety of topics throughout the course to sharpen your skills for rock season!

Join us for any 1 or 2 days, or get a big discount for all 3 days.

We’ll be covering projecting and falling mindset, giving soft catches, crack climbing, and trad climbing. The idea behind this trip is to give climbers the option of working on their desired discipline and sharpening those skills as we transition into the climbing season.

Each day will have a new topic that is being introduced, but we will have the ability to revisit and focus on your desired discipline.
El Sendero Luminoso.. The Shining Path I've wa El Sendero Luminoso.. 

The Shining Path 

I've wanted to climb this route even before I came to EPC for its notoriety and reputation. 

It did not disappoint. Pitch after pitch of thin technical crimping leads to one of the most classic face routes in the world. Many times, hard routes have a reputation of being classic simply due to difficulty and challenge. Luminoso is classic because every single move and pitch is thought-provoking, elegant, and beautiful. The fact that so many microscopic holds connect in a direct line seems improbable on such a big, steep face. 

I'm sure it's been said and will be said many times over, but this should be on everyone's bucket list.
