Multi-pitch Award

Multi-Pitch training (2-days) and assessment (2-days) cover the skills required to lead climbers on multi-pitch climbs. The training covers personal climbing, stance management, rope systems, client rescue and evacuation, etiquette, environmental responsibilities and more. Candidates will learn how to become effective multi-pitch leaders, fostering the spirit of climbing whilst also improving their own climbing skills. The scheme concludes with a 2-day assessment that focuses on the skills learnt during training, post-training, and the safe guiding of two climbers in a multi-pitch environment.
