Course Description:

'' Multi-pitch rock climbing is essentially what traditional rock climbing is all about. This program builds on what is covered in our introduction to lead climbing course. On this course we cover topics such as route finding, belay station management, strategies for belaying the second, (i.e. belaying off the anchor, redirecting the belay, and belaying off the harness), preventing factor 2 falls, on-route communication, and descending after the climb. While not all multi-pitch climbs require speed, we like to focus this course on teaching people to become efficient enough at transitions to be able to climb at a rate of 1 or 2 pitches per hour.

Ever wonder how to stack your rope at a hanging belay? Ever find yourself with a twisted rope as you prepare to leave the belay station? Should you do one long pitch or two short pitches? Our multi pitch climbing course trains you to manage all aspects of your climb so that you can focus on movement and not a tangled rope. We will also discuss single leader and lead swapping strategies.

This course can be taught at either a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio. We can’t go more than 2:1 as it would prevent us from actually climbing a multi-[itch route, In this course we do some groundwork, but most of the lessons take place while climbing three to 5 pitch routes. Examples of routes we use include: Givler’s Crack (3 pitch, 5.8), Catapult (3 pitch, 5.8), Midway Direct (3 pitch, 5.6), R & D Route (5 pitch, 5.6), Groundhog Day (3 pitch, 5.7), Yard Art (4 pitch, 5.9), Heart of Gold (4 pitch, 5.10-), Condorphamine Addiction (7 pitch, 5.10b).
