In addition to equipment handling, you will also gain an understanding of risk management. Many multi-pitch routes are found in alpine environments. To safely execute multi-pitch climbs, it is important to evaluate the risks associated with high altitude, weather, mountain obstacles, and other potential hazards. It is important to understand how to plan your adventures and how to escape if the need arrives.

 

When attempting a difficult multi-pitch climb, conditions must be perfect. In this course, we will ensure your competence as a multi-pitch climber. You will learn how to plan and prepare - both technically and mentally - for your multi-pitch climbing endeavors.

 

While some guides may only help you to get up the routes, in this course, we make sure you become a competent multi-pitch climber for all your adventures to come. Over the course of a week, you will learn about rope management, become literate in multi-pitch safety, and of course, the best way to learn things is to do them as much as possible so you spend a lot of time climbing a variety of beautiful routes in Riglos.
