This is an exciting time in your climbing learning, release the shackles of the single pitch and venture up into the vast rock above. This course opens up so many routes options on the Squamish Chief, for years of adventure to come. This low ratio course prepares you with the skills and knowledge that enables you to be an efficient and safe multi pitch climber, to tackle big routes on the Chief, and elsewhere with confidence. Unlike other multi pitch courses, we spend the majority of our time in the real multi pitch environment. We start the day on the ground practicing the key elements of our multi pitch system, then with our low ratio of only two clients per guide, we venture onto short multi pitch climbs as a group of three. A route is chosen so that we also do a multi pitch rappel. Don’t spend your multi pitch course on the ground!
