Climbing Course
TCS Advanced Multi Pitch Climbing Concepts Course
You have probably attempted bringing two partners up routes and realized that 2:1 (two followers, one leader) climbing is a more intense experience than climbing with a single rope. Let's use this course to decrease the complexity of 2:1 multi-pitch climbing in order to keep us safe and increase our technical rope systems efficiency.

Details of the course outline will be provided, but the overall objectives will be to answer the following questions:
- What are the different rope techniques for a party of 3 and which one should I choose?
- Parties of 3 add complexity. How can I plan ahead to avoid problems?
- You're boring me with all this work at belay stations. Can't I just climb faster?
