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. The MPG qualification covers the skills required to lead participants in multi pitch climbing / abseil environments, including guiding participants on multi pitch routes whilst leading on placed protection.
Entry requirements:
Must have completed the single pitch guide (SPG) training course, or gained an exemption from this training from the ACIA. 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. Candidates do not need to have completed the single pitch guide assessment.
It is expected that candidates will have strong multi-pitch climbing experience (typically to grade 14).
Just finished the level 2 alpine course. Again, excellent instruction and knowledge concerning glacier travel, long toping, short-roping,, and crevasse rescue. Thanks Hamid and Lachlan
Hamid was our instructor for both courses and he had an incredible in his teaching style – the right amount of information and theory mixed in with practical application and loads of fun. I had no knowledge about how to climb in Alpine environments prior to these courses. These courses have provided me with essential skills and knowledge to feel more confident going to Mera Peak.
A big thank you to Hamid and The Climbing Company for offering such a great course so close to Melbourne! Would highly recommend.
