Multipitch Basic Course

Multi-Pitch Basic Climbing Course

The Essential Course for Long Climbing Adventures

In this course, you’ll gain the skills needed for your first independent multi-pitch climb. We cover all the basics to ensure you can confidently tackle well-protected routes on your own.
Some climbing experience (leading at grade 4c) is required. If you’re new to climbing or need a refresher, we recommend starting with our Basic Climbing Course.

On our specially designed “Climbing Learning Path” in Brunni or the climbing training area in Surenental, you’ll develop the necessary multi-pitch climbing skills during an exciting practical tour. The course covers belaying techniques, multi-pitch strategy, rope management, route planning, and abseiling.

For those who want to deepen their knowledge and gain even more climbing expertise, we highly recommend our 2-Day Multi-Pitch Climbing Course!

Depending on the weather, snow conditions, and participants’ abilities, we will choose appropriate climbing routes. Below is a list of possible course areas:

  • Engelberg, Brunni “Climbing Learning Path”
    Climb over small towers on the Bettlerstock. The final summit can only be reached by climbing—an exciting peak! The mountain guide can closely supervise and coach, as they can walk along the side. Not ideal in cold temperatures or after rain. (Fourth-grade difficulty required) | Topo
  • Engelberg, Surenental “Adler & Geier”
    Fantastic summer tours with great ambiance in the mountains. Should be dry and warm for several days. Thanks to the slightly longer approach (45 minutes), we’ll likely have the place to ourselves. (End of fourth-grade difficulty required) | Topo
  • Engelberg, Stäfeli “Äbnet Wäg or Neutour Fredi”
    Perfect for a practical tour combined with RAW training at Leitistein, in steep and solid rock. Ideal if you’re already leading at a solid fifth-grade level. (Solid fifth-grade difficulty required) | Topo
  • Beckenried, Risletten “Plattenknüller”
    Ideal when there is snow at higher altitudes or wet conditions due to a high cloud base. A simple multi-pitch tour in an old quarry. (Fourth-grade difficulty required) | Topo
  • Erstfeld, Nollen “Toni-Zimmermann Weg”
    Good for when there is snow at higher altitudes or wet conditions due to a high cloud base. A simple multi-pitch route with plenty of bolts above Erstfeld. (Fourth-grade difficulty required) | Topo |
  • Pilatus Galtigentürme
    We can provide excellent coaching here if you already have climbing experience. | Topo
  • Steinbruch Brunnen “Träumli & 5er und Weggli”
    The old quarry near the road in Brunnen offers beautiful slab climbing. Sunny and warm even in cooler months. The bolt spacing is somewhat inconsistent, particularly on the left route. (Solid slab climbing at grade 4 required) | Topo
