Unfortunately,
EMFF will not feature any climbing master classes at the 2010 festival.
The info below relates to previous years. We hope to run the master
classes again in 2010.
Get active at the EMFF and hone your climbing
skills under the guidance of one of the Scotland's leading climbers,
Niall McNair.
Climbing Master Classes will be staged at Alien Rock 2 on Sunday at
10am and 2pm.
Both sessions are suitable for lower grade climbers age 12+ wishing
to learn to improve their technique and movement skills.
Places cost £30 per person and are strictly limited to 4 climbers
per session. This includes entry to Alien Rock 2. Climbers just need
to bring shoes and a chalk bag. Reserve your place at Alien Rock or
Alien Rock 2 by calling them on 0131 552 7211.
All climbing will be
bouldering based using a mixture of pre-set problems set by the coaches
and new problems set during the session, supervised by coaches.
The sessions will tackle the fundamental
concepts of efficient climbing at a basic, accessible level with additional
help with building training sessions independently to provide a framework
for climbers to practice the skills in their everyday climbing.

Course Content:
General technique masterclass, aimed at both newcomers and lower
grade climbers. We will tackle the fundamental concepts of efficient
climbing at a basic, accessible level with additional help with building
training sessions independently to provide a framework for climbers
to practice the skills necessary in their everyday climbing:
- Reading the rock: all aspects of solving technical problems from the
ground before starting to climb
- Centre of Gravity and Body Position: trajectory & distance to
wall surface
- Footwork
- Steep Rock Technique: Egyptians, straight-arming, advanced heel-hooking.
- New Tricks: barring, camming, scumming etc!
- Tactics: watching others, using rubber & chalk marks to get the
beta etc.
Big thanks to Alien
Rock, as well as to Niall for their help in putting on these masterclasses!
