MULTI PITCH CLIMBING COURSE REVIEWS

A fantastic 2 days of climbing where the enjoyment and challenge was expertly balanced. I learned quite a bit technically and had the opportunity, on the second day especially, to successfully tackle a couple of routes that I did not expect to complete but did so! very rewarding! Many thanks for a great 2 days Rob! Cheers, Mark By Mark S on Jul 08, 2025

Had a great two days with Rob on the multi-pitch climbing course. Yet again Robs structured and skills based approach meant I was able to quickly develop the climbing skills I wanted explore including belaying, attaching to anchors, gear placement and abseiling. He introduced me to coastal cliff climbing as well as some classic multi-pitch routes in Llanberris pass. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in getting into trad.

Having climbed indoors for a while, this was a really effective course to move the experience outdoors. Over the two days I learned how to construct safe anchors, manage belay stances for me and a second, and how to improve my movement. Rob provided a huge resource of knowledge whilst allowing me to progress at a comfortable pace. If you’re keen to climb more outdoors, I would highly recommend this course. Outdoor instructors really don’t come better than expeditionguides.com.
