OUTER PEAKS 4: Traditional Lead Climbing
Your head is your most valuable ally and your worst enemy. Traditional leading is extremely technical and, let’s face it, scary. To protect yourself and your second you must possess proficiency in gear placement and cleaning, artificial anchor building, advanced rope management, and how to keep your head on your side. OP4 covers all of these skills and everything in the multi-pitch process from bottom to top and back down again, including multi-pitch repelling. Prerequisite: Lead certified at Inner Peaks and lead experience. This course is 2 very full days and usually takes place at Linville or Looking Glass. Directions and gear list available. Available through Private Instruction |
