Do you fancy a weekend of learning the fundamentals of leading multi-pitch trad routes in the mountains? If you and a friend are keen and would like to turn up the dial on your mountain adventures then give me a shout. The purpose of this weekend is to teach you and your climbing partner the skills you need to stay safe while taking on some bigger multi pitch adventures.
Who is this for?
This weekend is aimed at anyone in the club who has climbed outside on a few occasions and who wants to gain the additional skills, knowledge and understanding that will allow you and your partner to climb safely in a multi pitch environment.
Prerequisites are:
1. Come with someone you climb with or want to learn with who has the same passion for climbing you do
2. You and your partner have climbed outside a few times before perhaps on single pitch or maybe some sport routes
3. Come with an open mind set, ready to learn and take on new skills and up your trad game!
Format of weekend:
I’d provide a ratio of 1:2 multi pitch leading instruction. We’d be out 8:30 to 4:30pm on Saturday and 8:30am to 3:30 on Sunday. To make the best use of the weekend we’d either trad climb, or, if the weather decides not to play ball, we would go mountaineering and I would teach moving together on scrambling terrain.
Travel:
I’d drive up on the Friday evening and return on the Sunday late afternoon. I’d be quite happy to give you both a lift and share fuel costs.
Accommodation:
Mountaineering huts or camping TBC.
Costs:
The only costs would be fuel, food and accommodation across the Friday and Saturday nights.
