Multi Pitch Skills

Multi pitch climbing provides the adventure of climbing hundreds or thousands of feet off the ground. With that comes the need for new skills to stay safe and organized.

In this class you’ll learn everything you need to lead and follow a multi pitch climb. This includes tethering yourself to an anchor, belaying from above, staying organized at belays, and managing transitions (leader and follower alternating leads, leading in blocks, and up-to-down transitions). We’ll also go over techniques for joining ropes of similar and different diameters, rappelling with two ropes, and what to do if your ropes get stuck.

Required equipment: Harness, helmet, belay device, double length sling or personal tether, locking carabiners. Rentals available for $10/person (select the rental package at checkout).
