A deeper rhythm. A stronger return.

This path is not about adding more.
It’s about going further — with focus, with recovery, and with support.

Everything included in the Essence Retreat forms the foundation of this experience: shared climbs, slow mornings, nourishing meals, and moments of reconnection.

But Soften & Summit offers a deeper current — built around real learning, real rest, and the kind of support that can’t be rushed.

At the heart of Soften & Summit is a three-day private multi-pitch climbing course on the Caiat Wall — held at a 1:2 ratio, with one dedicated guide for two climbers.
This is not just instruction — it's personalized mentorship.

Before you even reach the wall, we take time to get to know your climbing profile, your experience, and your goals.
This allows us to shape the experience around you — your learning style, your pace, and what growth means for you.

You won’t just follow a rope.
You’ll learn how to lead — technically, mentally, and with presence.

Over three immersive days, you’ll gain:

• Rope systems, anchors, and gear flow

• Belay transitions and route strategy

• Exposure management and mental clarity

• Communication at height, and decision-making in real terrain

• Confidence in your own systems and judgment

This is not just for the memory.
It’s a real climbing progression — something you’ll carry home in your body, your breath, and your mindset.

To hold that transformation, we build in the space to soften:

• Two recovery massage sessions, guided by our in-house professional.

• Private mobility and decompression sessions, tailored to your week

• A Welcoming Gift — crafted locally, designed to ground

• 1-on-1 moments to pause, reflect, and integrate with your guide.

Because this path requires attention and presence, we offer it to only two guests per retreat.

Not to create exclusivity — but because real care doesn’t scale.

Essence is where you reconnect.
Soften And Summit is where you grow — in trust, in skill, in presence.
