July 16 & 17

730-330

Squamish Smoke Bluffs

This clinic has a limit of 4 people.

Multipitch techniques allows us to explore the great walls and mountains of the world, big and small! Whether you want to learn these skills for the first time or streamline and update your existing systems there are always ways to become a more efficient multi pitch climber and have more fun!

Learning outcomes:

• Planning, preparation, communication.

• Equipment selection.

• Technical systems (top down belaying, multidirectional anchors and protection strategies).

• Rope management and use of a second rope for hauling and rappelling.

• Multipitch rappels (defensive rappelling tactics).

• Decision making (injuries, busy routes, fading light, wet conditions).

Prerequisites:

Participants will have been confidently lead belaying and lead climbing for at least one year on sport routes 5.9 and above or traditional routes 5.8 and above. If you are in a group of two and one person leads and the other doesn’t, you can take this clinic as a pair as long as the non leader is a competent lead belayer.

If you aren’t sure if you fit these prerequisites, send me a message.
