Single Pitch Trad

Description

Course booking – Single Pitch Trad Climbing – Melbourne Climbing School

This is a two-day course designed to teach existing lead climbers how to use trad gear safely and effectively. We practice placing nuts, cams and other equipment to secure our system to the rock.

Here is a rough outline of the topics we plan to cover:

• Adjust belay habits to suit traditional rock climbing
• Prepare your gear prior to leaving the ground ready for safe, efficient climbing
• Identify the best type of gear for a particular rock feature
• Build multi-point anchor systems using trad gear and your rope
• Belay a partner safely from the top of the climb
• Return at the end of your session without leaving any of your equipment behind
• Abseil safely using a prusik backup
• Recognise the most common trad climbing mistakes and easy methods to mitigate them
