learn to lead multi pitch climbing

A learn to lead multi pitch climbing course in the Scottish Highlands is a comprehensive program (based in the Cairngorms national park near Aviemore) designed to teach you the essential skills and techniques.

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.

We pride ourselves on providing as much kit as possible for you.  However, the list below is what we recommend you should bring to your Learn To Lead Multi Pitch Climbing Course:

  • Travel insurance. (We are insured for all our trips, but we recommend everyone has their own travel insurance as well.)
  • Transportation to the venue. (We may be able to help with this though – if you need transportation please drop us an enquiry and we can see what we can do to help.)
  • Lunch, water.
  • Personal medication
  • Sun cream, midge net
  • Waterproofs (it is Scotland after all)
  • Sturdy footwear.

Here at Highland Outdoor Adventures, we pride ourselves on providing as much as we can but you are welcome to bring your own equipment if you do prefer. The list below is what we provide you with on the day.

  • All instruction.
  • Helmets
  • Ropes
  • Harness
  • Helmets
  • All Technical Climbing Gear
  • All first aid and safety equipment.
  • Photographs of the day provided for you at no extra cost! If the weather is good we will have a DSLR professional camera and maybe even a drone, so we can take photos and videos of your adventure and you can look back at the day for years to come. If the weather is less favourable we will bring a GoPro (as it is waterproof) so we will still be able to take photos for you.
