Multipitch Climbing
Guided Multipitch climbing
Multipitch climbing is the process of climbing larger rock faces. This exciting form of climbing involves a team working together to repeatedly climb and clean a pitch. Come climb some of the classic multipitch routes so abundant in North Carolina and get 500 feet off the ground. Multipitch climbing is an adventure climbing at its best and is a process of lead climbing several pitches of rock to reach summits or the tops of cliff faces hundreds of feet tall. This is an exciting and fun way to experience the fantastic views of Appalachian rock climbing.

Patrick,
My two recent rock climbs with you have really been enjoyable. I appreciate your consistent emphasis on safety, and even after climbing for fifteen years learned some useful techniques from you. Looking forward to our next climb.Fred Bahnson, M.D.
