    Course Content: The intent of this one-day 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. Prerequisites: 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:
Equipment: Approach shoes, harness, helmet, belay device, extra locking carabiners (optional but not necessary: camming devices, nuts, nut tool, quickdraws, alpine draws, rope, aid ladders, adjustable daisies, grigri, handled ascenders, rope bag)

Recommended Items to Bring:
Warm clothes (expect to stand around and listen/learn) and then participate, sun screen and camera

How to Get There:
Event Directions:   Sean will contact everyone the week prior to the course and provide meeting directions.  

Notes:
Applicants will be reviewed as this is not a beginner course.
