GOT PLANS TO CLIMB IN LANDER THIS SUMMER?

Do those plans include getting shut down by the bouldery, burly climbing in the Wild Iris? Or being afraid to pull hard on two-finger pockets?

Enter Pocket Power, an 8 Week Group Program designed to get you powered up for climbing in Lander. From your training program, to route selection, to trip planning beta – this program is your one stop shop for crushing your travels to Lander, Wyoming. If you’re going to go all the way to Lander, you might as well come ready to send!

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

  • You go on climbing trips and have major regrets about not training to prepare – “if only I would have been training for the last month, this could have been different” 
  • While you enjoy your climbing trips, you feel like you waste time. Whether it’s getting lost, getting stuck in a line at a crowded crag, picking a crag  in full sun, or spending too much time deciding what to do in general.
  • You get frustrated because the grades feel mystifying – you can usually climb harder at home, and getting into the style in not-your-usual-place feels hard and strange.
  • You have a hard time balancing the desire to enjoy yourself, but also get some trip sends on the board.
  • With many climbs to choose from, figuring out what to get on feels really overwhelming…. And then you get on a bunch of climbs below your true potential and leave completely unsatisfied.

LET'S DO IT DIFFERENTLY THIS TIME.

You can arrive to Lander ready to pull hard on pockets and with the power you need to succeed. Your adventures in Lander can be strategic – balancing enjoying yourself while still getting some sends on the board.

...THEN POCKET POWER IS FOR YOU.

MEET YOUR COACH, LAUREN

Lauren Abernathy is a Climbing Coach, NASM Certified Personal Trainer and DV8 Certified Kettlebell Coach. While there are many climbing areas Lauren enjoys visiting – there’s a reason she spends time in Lander each year.

There’s just something about making big moves on small pockets that keeps her coming back. With proper preparation and her own experimentation, she’s had some short, but epic trips to Lander over the years (like in 2020 where she put down three, new 5.12s in a week!) Nowadays though, she spends as much of the summer there as she can – it’s just that good!

Lauren has coached over 85 climbers ranging in skill levels from 5.8 to 5.14, helping athletes improve their metrics, send their hardest climbs, and gain confidence along the way.

Shit, she even wants you to have fun while you’re doing it.

Before Lauren was a coach, she was a time-constrained weekend warrior. She knows that time on climbing trips is precious, but in her experience, with a little extra effort and the support of a seasoned coach – you can get a lot out of your on-location adventures.

WHERE WE'LL BE

Lander is a town of 7,500 people located just south of Wyomings’ Wind River Reservation. Located 4 hours from Salt Lake and just over 5.5 hours from Denver, Lander is a popular destination for climbers from all over the US – and the world for that matter.

With an abundance of excellent sport climbing near town, and the opportunity to escape the summer heat in the high alpine, it is no wonder that Lander has become a world-class climbing destination.

Whether you’re looking for short, bouldery pocket climbs or you want something requiring more sustained endurance – the crags around Lander have what you’re looking for.

The areas around Lander are extremely scenic – even if climbing isn’t going your way, the wildflowers look so nice, you almost don’t even care.

F.A.Q.

This program will be most effective for athletes who have experience leading routes at the 5.10 level either indoors or outside.

The program starts on June 6 and runs until August 8. However, since your training program is customized to you we can get you started on your custom plan upon registration.

Group calls will take place on Wednesdays at 5pm MT each week over the course of the program. If this time absolutely does not work for you, but you are extremely interested in the program, please email me to discuss at goodsprayclimbing@gmail.com – we can likely work something out. 

Based on your assessment results, your goals, your schedule, and your equipment availability, I create a training plan customized for you.  

Most of my athletes train anywhere from 2-4 days per week depending on their schedule and how much they are climbing outside. Typically, training is primarily climbing focused with some supplemental hangboard and strength work mixed in.

No sweat! Since your program is fully customized, it will be tailored to where you are at in your training journey. No training experience is necessary.

Access to some form of climbing indoors or outdoors. Access to a hangboard or strength training equipment is nice to have, but not necessary.

 

This program is extremely high-touch, meaning you will have a lot of contact and support from me and your fellow group mates.

Our primary form of communication is the group message. This is where you can post videos of yourself climbing for review, ask questions about your training, and celebrate your wins along the way! 

Additionally, our weekly group calls will be instrumental in helping you stay motivated and supporting your efforts while you tackle climbs in Lander.

Yes. However, if you are extremely interested in the program and you are headed to Ten Sleep, WY this summer, it could still be worthwhile. If this is your situation, send me an email (goodsprayclimbing@gmail.com) and we can evaluate if Pocket Power will be a good fit for you.

Since this program is centered around travel – it makes sense that you might have some conflicts! As far as group calls go, you will be able to ask questions ahead of time if you would like me to address them on the call for you.  Additionally, all calls are recorded so you can watch after the fact, if you wish.

In terms of your training plan – if you let me know of your time constraints and conflicts ahead of time, we can work around these for maximum gains while accommodating your schedule!

Yes. You can pay for this program in full, over two months, or over 6 months. If you are interested in a payment plan, you can pay your deposit of $197 at which point, I will reach out regarding payment plan options. There is no additional charge for spreading out payments.
