About the 2 on 2 off Project Pack
This coaching pack is specifically crafted for individuals tackling a local outdoor project that needs that extra push. The balanced structure of two indoor sessions followed by two outdoor sessions is recommended, starting with the first session outdoors. This approach allows for beta work and preparation during the indoor sessions before attempting the outdoor climb.
