Alpine Rock Climbing Course Syllabus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Familiarity with ropework is important for all areas of alpine rock climbing and mountaineering. From simple pitching and abseiling to safeguard short sections of a route, or for emergency rescue use. Rock climbers and mountaineers should first be familiar with the fundamental building blocks and tools before then expanding their skills in more complex situations. General rules of keeping it simple and neat apply to all stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Remarkables Alpine Rock Climbing Course can be tailored to the participant’s previous experience. Private courses with low ratios are great ways of developing a climbing partnership for bigger rock climbing and mountaineering objectives such as the Grand Traverse of the Remarkables, late season ascents of Tititea \/ Mount Aspiring, and in the Darrans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
