Renaissance Adventure Guides offers the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) Single Pitch Instructor training course and assessment. This program provides
certification to rock climbing instructors who work in a top rope setting. The AMGA is the nation’s premier organization of professional climbing and ski guides. The Single Pitch Instructor training course gives rock-climbing instructors proven techniques for introducing their clients to this exciting sport in a safe and inspiring manner. This is not a class on how to rock climb but rather a course for experienced climbers who are or aspire to be superior climbing instructors. We will cover site selection, risk management, teaching techniques, efficient anchor systems, rescue skills and many other relevant topics.
