Multipitch Lead Course

Advanced Level Course

This course is aimed at any climber that is currently climbing multipitch or wanting to step into the world of multi pitch climbing. The course looks at the skills taught to guides focusing on efficiency, teaching you the skills to climb multipitch routes quickly and safely. The course will cover a myriad of tricks aimed at making you a safer, faster, and more competent multipitch climber. The course will also get some great climbs in too!

"I wanted to share the techniques and skills that I teach on Guide training courses with recreational climbers so I created the Multipitch Lead Course. This course is unique as it looks at the approach to climbing multipitch rock terrain the same way a guide is taught to. I guarantee you will love this course!" AMGA Rock Guide and FMG Owner Adam Fox.
