Learn To Lead Multi Pitch Itinerary

The one-day Learn to Lead multi pitch climbing course in Cairngorms will provide participants with the essential skills to lead on longer, more complex routes. The course will be dedicated to equipment selection, rope management, route planning, gear use, stance management and variations of multi pitch belaying techniques. Participants will apply these skills to climb multi pitch routes – the actual route on the day will be dictated by weather, client experience and clients aims.

There will be an emphasis on efficient belay techniques and anchor building. The course will be led by experienced climbing instructors (members of AMI), who will provide expert guidance and support throughout the program. By the end of the day, participants will have gained valuable experience and confidence in leading multi pitch climbs, making this an ideal course for those seeking to progress in their climbing journey.
