Course Content: The intent of this
course is to give
participants an introduction to the intricacies
of leading and following
aid pitches. The curriculum would include:
clean-aid placements,
testing pieces, efficiency, rope ascension and
lower outs. All systems
will be practiced as mock-leads or with back-up
ropes.
This is not a beginner course so some climbing
experience is
necessary. Participants should have some of
their own rack and
should have taken a trad rock course.

| Required Items to Bring: |
|
Sean will supply full list to those accepted.
|
|
| Recommended Items to Bring: |

|
|
| Notes: |
Applicants will be reviewed as this is not a
beginner course. When
you sign-up please send the Co-ordinators an
email stating if you
have had the TRAD course and your climbing
experience.
Once accepted you will need to deliver the
$162.50 (this includes tax)

If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons.
