AMC Lead Climbing School – Day 2

This is session 2 of a 4 session advanced climbing class. If you are enrolling as a student, please visit http://arizonamountaineeringclub.net/schools/lead-climbing-school/ to register for the class. You are not officially on the student list until we receive your class payment/registration. Club membership for 2019 can also be updated with your registration if you have not already paid for this years member dues.

All aspects of lead climbing will be addressed with a strong emphasis on multi-pitch trad climbing. Topics include gear (ropes and pro), the dynamics of lead falls, solid gear placement, rope management, anchors, and the mental as well as physical aspects of sport and trad leading. This class is for every competent climber. Even if you do not plan on leading, you will learn and understand the dynamics of lead climbing, and it will make you a more knowledgeable and capable climber and second. There will be no “true” lead climbs during the class – all lead climbing experiences in this class will be protected with a top-rope.
