TYPICAL MULTIPITCH CLIMBING COURSE LAYOUT
Each day of our multipitch climbing course we would introduce the topic of weather, ability, and how this would affect venue selection, and route planning.
DAY 1
You will learn everything you need to go multipitch climbing. This day tends to be packed with lots of information, and may sometimes feel overwhelming. We will look at equipment selection, a multipitch climbing rack (what is enough), route selection, guidebooks, climbing calls and communication. We will spend a substantial amount of time looking at the building of complex anchors (in and out-of-reach), and stance management.
DAY 2
Here we get you to put all you have seen on the previous day into practice. We will also emphasise hanging belays, and most importantly descending safely. As climbing is only half the work.
The course content and location tends to be dictated to us by the weather, so the multipitch climbing course layout can change.
