Lead Climbing

This is an advanced climbing class. Even if you do not plan on leading, you will learn much about the dynamics of climbing, and it will make you a more knowledgeable climber. Please read our disclaimer. There will be no "true" lead climbs during the class. Protecting a climb is a different skill from climbing itself. We will talk about the dynamics of lead falls, how to prepare for a climb, the differences between single-pitch and multi-pitch, the differences between bolted routes and natural pro, and we will provide actual leading exercises.

Experience required:

Preferably, AMC Basic School and AMC Anchors School or equivalent experience. This includes knowing how to tie a variety of knots, belay, rappel, prusik and set anchors.
