Agenda
Day 1 & 2
- On this course your guide will strive to provide each participant
with instruction that is most relevant to his or her skill level.
Therefore, it is impossible to provide an exact agenda, but there will
be 2 full days of climbing in the Canmore, Banff & Lake Louise
area. Emphasis will be on proper placement of nuts & cams,
anchor building, natural anchors, and other trad climbing
considerations. Topics such as multipitch skills, basic self-rescue,
and use of pitons can also be practiced.
Optional
Day 3 - Multipitch Ascent:
Course participants can add on a day of multipitch climbing in groups
of 1 or 2 people. On the day after the course, this is offered at the
discounted rate of $350 for 1 person, $200 each for 2 people. Please
request this option in advance. See the[rock]
page for more information on guided ascents.
