Takes 2 minutes. No sign-in required.

Multi-pitch climbing links 4-8+ rope lengths into sustained vertical journeys on real rock. Classic routes at Red Rocks (Nevada), Seneca Rocks (West Virginia), and Tuolumne Meadows demand rope systems mastery, route-finding, and the endurance to spend hours on a wall. 35% of guided multi-pitch clients are over 40.
