The Course:
This long weekend is designed to take your skills and climbing experience to the next level by continuing the learning if you attended the Rock Review Plus course or have a few days of outside climbing experience. It is a great way to meet like minded people and be taught the highest standards in safety, efficiency at an advanced level by ACMG / IFMGA Mountain Guides.
The Days:
The first two days are focused on advanced climbing movement and progressing your climbing grade and confidence, we will review anchor building using gear and bolts and placing gear while mock leading climbing routes. The third day we will climb one of the many classic multi pitch routes in the Bow Valley which is 2:1 guest to guide ratio.
A detailed course package will be emailed 3 days prior to course commencement.
