Multi-pitch climbing course
Level 2: Multi-pitch course
The Multi-pitch course is the entry ticket to the world of alpine climbing tours. Functional belaying, the use of mobile belay devices and various retreat methods are the central training content. The Frauenwasserl course area in Oberammergau offers ideal conditions.
The Multi-pitch-course trains you for plaisir tours in difficulty levels III - VI*
It is equally suitable for (alpine) climbing beginners, advanced climbers, indoor climbers, boulderers and anyone who wants to optimize their climbing and belaying technique.
You learn and train in a relaxed atmosphere, on the best rock and in small groups. From the ground up, your mountain guide will teach you the essence of rope and safety techniques and, of course, the latest climbing techniques.
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.
* 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.”
