Learning to Multi-Pitch Climb is perfect for climbers looking to progress from single pitch to the fun and challenging progression that is multi pitch climbing!  This hands-on course covers essential skills such as building and cleaning anchors, managing ropes and belays between pitches, communication strategies, and efficiency tips for long routes.
