This mentorship event is part of the AMP (Alpine Mentorship Program) organized by the ACC Calgary section jointly with ACMG Guide Brent Peters and PeakStratagem. Either Brent or one of the PeakStratagem guides will be teaching this event.
This event is for climbers who want to learn how to lead on trad gear. By the end of the course you should be able to lead an easy route, safely placing a variety of trad gear along the way, build an anchor using trad placements, select appropriate trad gear for the climb you are on, clean a trad route on second. At the start of the course we will focus on mock leading with feedback on placements.
Pre-requisites: Climbers signing up for this course should be competent lead climbers on rock up to 5.8, be able to safely belay both lead and top rope, and be able to rappel. Multi pitch knowledge and ability will also be relevant. Climbers should also know how to build and clean an equalized anchor. Climbers who have taken the Intro to Outdoor Lead Climbing - Level - AMP1 may be eligible for this course with a recommendation from their instructor.
Cost: $175 for the one day course.
