Course Content
This one day workshop will give climbers the chance to learn about and practice essential rescue skills so that they can enjoy multi-pitch climbing competently and safely. We will cover how to lock off a belay plate, assisted and unassisted hoisting, escaping the system, personal abseiling and prussiking. These skills will be first taught at ground level and then in the afternoon there will be the opportunity to put them into practice on a route.

had some experience of leading multi-pitch rock climbs. We will be
outside all day.
