Rock Climbing Level 3 · Multi Pitch

Take your leading onto long routes and the summit.

Level 3 strings single pitches into a route. You learn multi-pitch systems, advanced rope management, simul-climbing and simple aid, efficient belay transitions and bailouts, and the multipitch rappelling and hauling that get you down. By the end you can climb a long route as a competent partner.

The focus is efficiency: smooth belay changeovers and clean rope management that keep a long route moving.
