Multi-Pitch Trad

Do you hunger for thrilling exposure? Do you want to really challenge your control over your fear of heights? How about the amazing views that most people simply will never see?

Conquer that fear of heights

Taking your single-pitch trad-climbing skills on longer, multi-pitch routes can seem like an even scarier prospect than trad climbing was in the previous course, but again once you have covered the techniques you will find it not nearly as scary and will discover an even more amazing aspect of the vertical world you already love.

Whack your details here and we’ll coordinate together to choose dates that suit you.

What will we learn?

Among the skills covered in this course are:

  • Planning your day before you start, preparing for any eventuality
  • The importance of clear, concise communication on multi-pitch routes
  • Additional types of anchor systems
  • Additional belay techniques
  • Smooth transitioning from top-belay to lead-belay while on the wall
  • The importance of staying vigilant even after arriving at the top
  • Preparing equipment for a walking descent, or –
  • Using two ropes for very-long abseils

Prerequisites

See Duration below as this differs depending on the current skill level.

Location

This course is held on an outdoor location on real trad climbing routes. The area we climb at and the grade of the routes will be tailored to the group participant’s skill levels.

Duration

2 days for participants who have Single-Pitch trad skills already, or 4-days for those with lead-or sport-climbing skills only, or 6 days for top-rope climbers or those who have never climbed before. Expect 6 hours of teaching time per day.

What do we need to own/bring?

The only piece of equipment you need to own before this course is a standard climbing harness suitable for lead-climbing indoors. All other climbing safety equipment is provided by us, however if you own any of the following equipment please bring it along with you – learning with your own equipment is far better and will provide a great start to your outdoor climbing experience!

  • Helmet *
  • One locking ‘biner suitable for belaying
  • One belay device
  • If you own a chalk bag, rope, quickdraws, slings and any other sport- or trad-climbing equipment please let us know prior to the course, and we can plan to teach you using your own gear instead.
    * Helmets are worn on all outdoor Climbing Company/Melbourne Climbing School courses – but as with all of the other climbing safety equipment, we have these if you don’t own one, and we will not charge any extra for their use on the course.
    Closed footwear such as tennis shoes are fine for learning on if you do not own climbing shoes.
    Non-climbing gear: You will need to bring suitable clothing and footwear for light hiking, and your own lunch and water for the day (and a camera!).

I completed the Alpine Skills Course 1 and 2 with The Climbing Company. I wanted to do these courses to build confidence with alpine climbing equipment (crampons, ropes, ice axes, harnesses, belay devices etc.) before going to climb Mera Peak in Nepal.

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.

Had a spectacular backcountry weekend hosted by The Climbing Company, Mountain Safety Collective (MSC) and sponsored by Arc’teryx. Hamid, Simon (wombat), Luke and Dill were brilliant hosts, providing a safe and well planned experience. Such a great opportunity to experience the Victorian backcountry with a team of professionals. Roll on the next trip!

We had a wonderful weekend with the guys from The Climbing Company backcountry skiing and snow camping in the spectacular Victorian Alps. The team organised and coordinated a fantastic set of experiences for us all. Our tents were comfortable and cozy, the dining tent (Tipi) was extraordinary, with a wood burner and Wombat cooked us some delicious and nourishing food. Highly recommended for first timers and experienced skiers who want a unique experience in Australian mountains.
