Traditional Lead Climbing Course


Picture
This course is for climbers wishing to learn the more complex skill of placing artificial gear on traditional lead climbs, and establishing sound anchors at the top of the pitch. We start with an in-depth review of gear placements and climbing equipment, then move on to mock leading. For climbers that are already lead climbers, we can tailor this course to improve on your existing leading skills and work towards multipitch climbs and more advanced and complex routes.

Topics Covered: 
  •  
​Climbing strategies
  •  Equipment selection and considerations.
  •  An in depth look at artificial gear placements.
  •  Fixed gear evaluation.
  •  Rope and stance management.
  •  How to avoid the multiplication of forces! (Vectors, Pulleys, Leverage, and Shock loading).
  •  Common Myths about climbing.
