The Multi-pitch-Kurs Advanced trainiert dich für Plaisirtouren bis zum VII. Grad und für klassische alpine Klettertouren.
Er ist für dich geeignet, wenn du Erfahrung im Klettern am Naturfels hast und die Basic-Sicherungstechnik mit Tuber oder Autotuber beherrscht.
Beim Multi-pitch-Kurs Advanced lernst und trainierst du in entspannter Atmosphäre, in bestem Fels und in kleinen Gruppen. Von Grund auf vermittelt dir dein:e Bergführer:in die Essenz der Seil- und Sicherungstechnik und natürlich auch der aktuellen Klettertechniken.
Multi-pitch or alpine climbing places much higher overall demands on you than indoor climbing, bouldering or pure sport climbing. In addition to the much more complex belaying technique, you also have to use and practise completely different tactics. Climbing is often confusing and retreating is usually difficult.
But none of this is rocket science, you can learn and practice it, ideally in a multi-pitch course with an expert who will explain the complicated techniques to you in an easy-to-understand way.
Find your level
Our courses have a modular structure and prepare you specifically for alpine challenges:
| Course level | Target difficulty level (rock)* | Focus |
| Alpinkletterkurs Beginner | III - V | Basic techniques & basics |
| Alpinkletterkurs Advanced | IV - VI | Advanced securing & tactics |
| Multi-pitch Beginner | III - V | Alpine training & stand construction |
| Multi-pitch Advanced | IV-VI | Standplatzbau & Vorstieg |
| Trad Climbing | ab IV | Mobile Sicherungsmittel |
* The mentioned difficulty levels are in no way comparable with those in the hall. This is because climbing on natural rock requires more circumspection and different tactics than in the climbing hall. An alpine IVer can be more demanding than a VIer in the hall, especially in lead climbing.
For all climbing courses, you will receive modern rental equipment from EDELRID.

“What can you learn from a climbing pro who has climbed thousands of pitches and many kilometers on vertical rock?
The simple answer is: almost everything! From A for abseiling to Z for intermediate belay, there are endless facets that will make you a better climber. Try it out and you'll be surprised how quickly you make progress. No matter what level you're at.”
