Description:
A "pitch" of climbing is a single section of a wall. A "multi-pitch" climb is a climb that is big enough to require multiple pitches: someone climbs part way up the cliff, and then brings the second climber up to their level, and then re-starts climbing again from the higher level.
On Wednesday, May 1st, I'm doing a multi-pitch skills course on the stairs leading down to one of the beaches at UBC. We'll practice building anchors, belaying, rope-management, and communication. Bring a harness, a rope, a belay devide, and any anchor material you have.
Because we won't actually be climbing in a way that requires safety skills, anyone is welcome, even someone who has never climbed. That said, people who have done single-pitch climbing may have an easier time learning. There's no pre-trip--just come to the top of the stairs of Trail #3, the stairs leading to Tower Beach, at 6:15pm.
Cheers and see you then!
