The second day of your AMGA instructor program will focus on climbing sites, site organization, risk management and other aspects of rock climbing. On day three, your certified AMGA SPI provider will walk you through instructor demo lead climbs, rappelling, climbing movements and other things you’ll need to pass an SPI assessment. By learning from the best in the business in a place like Joshua Tree, you’ll set yourself up for future success as a professional rock climber and instructor.

Learn potentially life-saving skills to build your confidence and address tough situations from experienced rock climbing guides.

“Self-rescue” refers to a set of climbing and rope skills useful in creating solutions to difficult situations you may encounter while climbing. Some of these skills include: escaping the belay, assistance techniques (3-1 pulley systems for assisting and hauling a partner), using the munter mule as a rescue knot. Every serious climber should consider devoting some effort to learning self-rescue. The life you save could be your own (or your partner’s)!

Although we cover certain mandatory elements in this course, we put your experience first to meet you where you are.
