Come climb in Ten Sleep Canyon with Fallon Rowe and Bighorn Mountain Guides!
We are hosting three-day sport climbing clinics for adults this August to help you level up your climbing in one of America’s finest summer venues.
Do you find yourself afraid of falling even when you know there's a bolt right below you? Do you want to improve your climbing mindset, learn to shift your perspective, and create thoughtful goals to improve your mental performance in climbing? If so, this clinic is for you! We will also address projecting tactics, such as route reading, resting, and strategies for evaluating risk and taking safe falls. Each day will run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., during which we will discuss new topics, then put them into practice at one of Ten Sleep’s amazing crags.
We will focus on climbs in the 5.10+ to 5.12- range. We feel like this is a range where we can really help people, and it also allows us to push limits on routes that are steep and safe to fall on. If you have questions on your abilities being a good fit, please contact us and we can discuss it with you.

"I attended your clinic and I wanted to say how great [it] was and how helpful I found all the info and tips. I've shared with so many friends already and took so many practice falls in the gym!
I’m seeing improvements in mindset just from more awareness and reframing, and I started a climbing journal too so I could set intentions and reflect afterwards. Thank you again and I really appreciated the experience!"

Testimonials
“You are such a good teacher, such a great coach! I had a goal of leading a 5.11a outside before the end of the year. I did it last Friday on a trip. It was so great to accomplish the goal - it was an onsight too. But for your coaching and help, I don't think I would've progressed like I did.”
- Nathan
"I gained useful tools and techniques I've continued using on my own and seen a huge jump in progress. Fallon's coaching gave me a much more helpful perspective on facing my challenges. The most valuable thing to my climbing practice was that we didn't just focus on the technical aspects of climbing, but really got to the root of my fears and concerns, developed tools to address them, and worked on putting all of that into practice. It felt really caring. 10/10 recommend working with Fallon!"
- Ledvi
“Fallon gave me tools to address these fears and honestly learn how to be more compassionate towards myself while climbing.”
