Multi-Pitch Climbing: Systems & Techniques for the Experienced Lead Climber

Essential for confident, independent multi-pitch climbing.

Multi-pitch climbing requires strong rope management skills, knowledge of different anchor systems, and safety considerations beyond that of single pitch climbing. Develop multi-pitch technical skills to enjoy and focus on more climbing areas and options at the crag. We want to pass on these skills and tricks to help you expand your climbing skills, explore new multi-pitch routes, and pursue your own personal outdoor climbing adventures.

Multi Pitch Climbing

“A friend and I hired Chockstone for a custom 2-day trad and multi-pitch skills course. Our guide Jim did an amazing job with it – he really made an effort to understand what we were looking to get out of the course and come up with a plan to provide it.”
