Multipitch
Climbing Courses

​

Why choose this course?

​

Experienced, Professional Instruction
Learn from experienced climbing and mountaineering instructors with extensive experience on multi-pitch, mountain and alpine routes. We'll give you practical, straightforward advice based on what actually works when you're several pitches from the ground.

​

Tailored to Your Goals
Your course can be built around your experience and ambitions. We can cover the basics of your first multi-pitch route, develop your confidence as a multi-pitch leader, or focus on moving efficiently on longer and more committing routes.

​

Learn on Real Multi-Pitch Routes
Rather than simply practising systems at a crag, we'll use real multi-pitch terrain wherever appropriate. You'll learn how to manage ropes, belays, route finding and transitions while actually climbing a route.

​

Efficient, Practical Systems
The key to enjoyable multi-pitch climbing is keeping things simple and efficient. We'll look at how to organise yourself and your equipment, minimise rope problems and keep a smooth rhythm between pitches.

​

Supportive, Straight-Talking Coaching
Multi-pitch climbing can seem complicated when you're first learning the systems. We'll break things down into manageable steps, explain why things work and give you plenty of opportunity to practise until they become second nature.
