About the Course
Do you really understand your guide mode belay device?
Guide mode can be incredibly useful on multipitch climbs, particularly when bringing up one or two seconds. However, understanding how the system works, its limitations and how to manage problems is essential.
This one-day climbing skills masterclass focuses on developing confidence and efficiency when using guide mode devices in multipitch climbing situations.
Rather than simply following a sequence of steps, we'll explore the mechanics of the system so you understand when, why and how to use guide mode appropriately.
