frequently Asked Questions

  • What experience do I need before taking this Multi-Pitch Climbing Course?

    Since multi-pitch climbing requires advanced technical skills, prior experience with lead climbing and anchor building is recommended. If you’re comfortable with single-pitch sport or trad climbing and want to progress to bigger routes, this course is the perfect next step.

  • What skills will I learn in this course?

    This course covers all the essential techniques for safe and efficient multi-pitch climbing, including:


    • Belaying from above and multi-pitch rope management
    • Anchor building for belay stations
    • Lead and follower transitions between pitches
    • Self-rescue basics for unexpected situations
    • Efficient rappelling techniques for descent

    By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident in tackling multi-pitch routes on your own or with a partner.


  • How physically demanding is multi-pitch climbing?

     Multi-pitch climbing requires good endurance and comfort with sustained climbing. Since you’ll be climbing multiple rope lengths in a row, you should be able to climb at least 5.7–5.9 confidently on top rope. If you’re unsure, our instructors can tailor the experience to match your fitness and skill level.v

  • Do I need my own climbing gear for the course?

    No, we provide all necessary climbing gear, including ropes, harnesses, belay devices, and helmets. However, if you have your own lead climbing gear, trad protection, or personal harness, you are encouraged to bring it, and our guides can check it for safety and proper use.

  • Will I be ready to climb multi-pitch routes on my own after this course?

    By the end of the course, you’ll have hands-on experience with belay transitions, anchor setups, and rappelling techniques under expert supervision. While many climbers feel confident leading their own multi-pitch climbs afterward, we always recommend starting with an experienced partner before attempting more complex routes.
