Students gain knowledge and skills necessary for creating multi-directional anchors, intermediate belaying techniques at various points in a multi-pitch climb, lead climbing techniques and self-rescue techniques including a belay escape with patient raise or lower. All techniques are instructed with scenarios allowing students to demonstrate appropriate lessons taught. This class is focused more on anchor placement/evaluation and belay safety than actual climbing technique and practice.
