Do you have some outdoor climbing in your future? Or aspire to take your climbing to the outdoors? Or maybe you’ve got some experience climbing outside, but want to ensure you are following best practices?
Then get into one of our gym-to-crag classes! These 4-hour sessions cover tons of detail, from gear specifics, to preparation, to hazard assessment, to additional considerations for climbing outdoors, and more! We will spend some time in the classroom, but the bulk of it doing hands-on rehearsal of some crucial safety techniques for outdoor climbing.
This course is intended for climbers who are lead climb or lead belay certified.

Mollee Fishaw
200 YTT, NASM certified, NASM Women’s Fitness specialist
I love to help people build positive relationships with movement and fitness. Movement is more than training one’s body for physical benefits, it has ample mental health benefits as well. I love to my help my clients realize that taking care of their body sprinkles the same care into every other aspect of their lives. I want to make your experience is fun and inviting so that it’s an enjoyable part of your day.
I began my fitness career in 2015 and have truly enjoyed group fitness the most, teaching everything from kickboxing, cycle, boot camps, TRX etc. Nothing like the energy of a group of people together, supporting and growing each other. I continue to add new forms of fitness and yoga to my training and enjoy blending all of these aspects to create effective, fun and beneficial classes.
If I’m not teaching yoga or fitness you can find me outside gardening, paddle boarding, hiking and camping.

Grace Guba
Hi, I’m Grace!
As a yoga teacher, I believe in the power of movement to restore balance—not just physically, but emotionally and energetically. Whether through physical flows, grounding practices, or moments of stillness on your mat.
Yoga to me, connects us intuitively to ourselves, and practicing together invites us into deeper community.
Join me on the mat, where we begin as enough, and we are right on time—one breath at a time.
Om Shanti Peace.
