Intermediate Climbing Skills

 

Before you’re ready for what many climbers consider the ultimate goal of lead climbing, there is still a great deal to learn, even if you’ve achieved competency top-roping or climbing in a gym.   In keeping with the time-honored tradition of apprenticeship as a “second” (following a seasoned leader), our Intermediate Course provides a high-mileage and invaluable experience above and beyond that of a Basic Course.

 

 

During this 2-3 day course we focus on:

 

  • Belaying
  • Advanced rope management
  • More complex anchors
  • Refining movement skills
  • Placement and removal of artificial protection (chocks and cams)
  • Rappelling
  • Self-rescue readiness skills

 

 

If you want to improve your skills and competency in a multi-pitch environment, this is the course for you.
