Here is the line-up of a seminar series in Augusta, GA coming up soon. It is a very well-rounded workshop if you ask me. It has the bugs and crud stuff, an off-site tour and a climber portion. Who could ask for more.
One thing unique about this one is that the climber portion is about competition climbing. Myself, Brian Noyes and Scott Profit will be going over the rules, safety requirements and techniques associated with the ISA competitons. Scott is a pro at this stuff. If you want to know the rules, he's the guy!
Climbers will get to try the events as well. Where else can you do that?
