Multi Pitch Guide Training
Participants on MPG courses must have progressed through the previous levels, they need to be personally experienced and competent at leading multi pitch routes on leader placed protection.

Details and instructions for gaining an exemption are via the “Recognition of Prior Learning” process available on the ACIA website’s Resources page, which also contains the Application Form.

The progression of the course was really well structured. We started with the more basic belay devices and techniques to make sure we properly understood the fundamentals, then worked our way up to assisted-braking devices like the GriGri. We covered a lot over the two days without ever feeling rushed.
I came away feeling much more confident with lead climbing and belaying. Highly recommend the course and Aaron as an instructor!
Aron and Jack were both very responsible and professional. They explained each technique in detail, including how to use the equipment properly and the common mistakes to avoid. They also pointed out many of the mistakes we made during the practical sessions and helped us understand how to improve.
The whole course felt very safe and well organized, while also being a lot of fun.
Highly recommended!
