Learn essential multi-pitch climbing skills! When taking on multi-pitch routes, a whole new skill set comes into play. This includes belaying from small stances, managing the rope efficiently, maintaining gear, staying organized, and developing the mental composure to handle exposure. Additionally, the descent often involves down climbing or rappelling. With many aspects to consider, this course strives to simplify the complexities and present them to you in a clear and logical manner. We recommend topping it off with our Multi-Pitch Weekend, two full days of multi-pitch climbing!
