Learn the fundamentals of safe traditional lead climbing and multi pitch climbing in this low ratio course. With only two clients per instructor, it provides extensive individual practice. Day one focuses on traditional gear protection placement and strategies, and a mock lead to real lead transition system. Day two starts with learning efficient, and full proof multi pitch climbing systems, and finishes off with a short multi pitch climb to actualize these skills in the real environment. This is an ambitious course that achieves results because of its low ratio and amount of directly supervised practice.

Let the adventure begin - this is the gateway drug to more adventures on long traditionally protected routes in the mountains. The shackles of bolts are off and the mountains await you.
This course is for proficient sport lead climbers who have crack climbing movement skills.
In my experience of teaching many traditional lead climb courses, most individuals don’t have enough lead climbing experience on the relatively straightforward protection of sport climbing.
Building your skills pyramid with solid leading and crack climbing moving skills means the task of traditional placement and leading strategies becomes relatively straight forward. No multi pitch experience is necessary.

Just like other areas of our lives, we can mitigate the spread of the virus with the use of masks.
Masks are required when we are in close proximity for example an instruction situation or at a multi pitch station. Because we are not in a confined space and we have the benefit of fresh air and the great outdoors we can remove our masks once the 2m proximity rule has been passed. This means climbing without a mask although having it in close for when doing partner checks, for example, or any other close proximity situations occurs. Please see our extensive COVID risk management plan on the About page, in the main menu.
