Multipitch Climbing Basic Course

CHF 450.00

Multi-pitch climbing is a fascinating form of climbing where different climbing routes, so-called pitches, are climbed one after the other. Each pitch ends at a belay station where climbers secure themselves and begin climbing the next pitch.

Multi-pitch climbing takes place on large and long rock faces or alpine routes. This requires not only climbing skills, but also advanced belaying techniques, rope management, and team communication.

Multi-pitch routes vary in climbing difficulty and length. The adventure, the challenges, the impressive views, and the deeper connection with nature and your climbing partner make multi-pitch climbing a truly unique experience.

One team—one goal—one wall!
