Multi-pitch climbing is more complex and riskier than single-pitch climbing as the climbers will remain exposed on the route for longer. Multi-pitch climbing involves thorough planning and the use of intermediate belays, long rappels, and the creation of belay anchors. Multi-pitch climbs are an immersive experience that allow climbers to access bigger terrain that’s inaccessible with a single rope length. Rescues from multi-pitch climbs are far more serious, and climbers will learn additional protection strategies and skills to avoid this.
