Description

This event is for people that are a part of the 2026 ACC Summer Mentoring Program.  During this session we will go over:

• Multi-pitch rappelling systems and efficiency
• Additional topics on multi pitch / rope works skills and efficiencies that mentees would like to cover (bring you questions and thoughts!)

Please bring with you everything you would bring if you were going to go on a multi pitch climb. Plus a headlamp, food/snacks, water, warm layer. If you have old ropes, please bring them so we can set up a few systems. Don’t bring your good rope(s), there is often broken glass at the venue we are using.

****Note**** If it is raining we will postpone this event. We will make the call the night before.
