“Comp-Style” Clinic

Targeted towards Youth and Open competitors, ages 14+ and ~v4+ abilities, we’ll use specific movement stations to accelerate skill acquisition on the most complex types of comp moves.

More about Ross and Marco:

Marco Giacomaneli: Marco has been part of the San Diego climbing community since the age of nine, focusing on multiple aspects of climbing from single-pitch trad to national-level climbing competitions. Right now the majority of his time is spent preparing for national competitions and pushing his limits outdoors on boulders and sports climbs. My climbing philosophy is simple, every time you put climbing shoes on it is a chance to express yourself. You decide how hard to try and how you deal with adversity. Through the pursuit of more advanced climbing, there is an amazing opportunity to learn more about yourself and grow. There are no limitations to how someone should climb, have fun and push your limits always.

Ross Fulkerson: Based out of Salt Lake City and San Diego, Ross is a professional climber, creative, and all-around adventurer. For the last two years, he has competed on the IFSC World Cup Circuit as part of the US National team and recently made the Finals at the Salt Lake City Bouldering World cup. He started a youtube channel dedicated to sharing behind-the-scenes experiences, tips, and tricks for becoming a better climber and outdoor-based content for the climbing community. His specialty is understanding and coaching complex movements. He is always looking for the underlying adjustment that will allow someone to unlock, not just a specific move, but allow that person to understand the mechanics behind an entire class of movement.
