Itinerary:

Come join for a casual hang in an informal setting where we will discuss and demonstrate the basic techniques and transitions used in multipitch climbing, all while enjoying some tasty beverages and snacks.


What does a multipitch anchor look like and how is it different from a single pitch anchor? What is a fixed-point lead belay? You can really just keep going up after reaching the first anchor on a route instead of coming down? How do I transition between pitches? How do we get back down at the end of a route?


We’ll try to cover all this and more in this session! Come with an open mind, a desire to learn and share, and of course plenty of stoke!

Notes:

We will be at a table upstairs.



If registered and not planning to attend, please cancel ahead of time so that others are able to join.
