Multi-pitch climbing for beginners
Are the individual pitches of sport climbing not enough for you and do you want to go to even more dizzying heights? Then multi-pitch climbing is the right thing for you. We are here to safely guide you on your first multi-pitches.
Join us for a one-day outdoor lead climbing course in the renowned Freyr climbing area, located in the picturesque Ardennes region of Belgium. This course is designed for climbers who have some outdoor climbing experience and are eager to transition to multi-pitch climbing outdoors in a safe and supportive environment.
Prerequisites: · Experience in belaying and lead climbing on rock. Potentially our courses Outdoor climbing for beginners.
If you have sufficient experience lead climbing outdoors, e.g. you already took our courses Outdoor lead climbing for beginners, or Outdoor lead climbing I, then we could also teach you further skills or immediately help you transition towards lead climbing.
Course contents:
- Introduction to multi-pitch climbing: Understand the basics of multi-pitch climbing, including basic anchor techniques and management, climbing in teams, rope handling at the belays
- Safety and risk management: Understand key safety practices, including how to assess potential risks and handle basic route finding.
- Belaying for lead climbers: Learn how to safely belay a lead climber, manage the rope, and deal with the dynamic forces involved in lead climbing
- Climb your first or even your second multi-pitch route in the wonderful area of Freyr.
This course is ideal for climbers who are comfortable with indoor lead climbing or top-rope routes and are now ready to experience the thrill of multi-pitch climbing. By the end of the day, you’ll have gained some basic skills and confidence for multi-pitch climbing.
