Terma MultiPITCH CLIMB
Primarily a face climb with very little crack, Terma is an excellent introductory Multipitch climb to learn the basics of climbing higher than a single pitch.
A GREAT ENTRY-LEVEL MULTIPITCH!
Want to dip your toes into multipitch climbing? Or perhaps you want to experience climbing at height but aren't much of a crack climber?
Terma is a great, mostly bolted three-pitch route near Moab that offers stunning views of the Colorado River corridor, and reaches the rim for a comfortable summit. Rated 5.8+ on Mountain Project.
What to expect: Terma is about a twenty-five minute drive from Moab. With a steeper, thirty to forty minute hike for the approach, the climb itself is quite friendly and low angle. You'll start by face climbing, following your guide up and removing any gear they left for protection. The first pitch ends at a spacious belay ledge. The next two pitches are also fun, featuring more face climbing, a short crack climbing section, and a beautiful finish on the rim overlooking the Colorado River.
This climbing excursion is customized to be as instructive as you like. We can discuss hanging belays, belaying from above, and multipitch rappelling.
Duration: This is a typically a half day to three-quarter day, so 4-6 hours town to town. Time depends on groups size and pace.
What to Bring: Close-toed Hiking shoes, 3 liters of water per person, lunch and snacks, a hat, sunglasses, sun protection (sunshirt, sunscreen, chapstick, etc). Recommended: small backpack to carry water on the climb. Trekking poles.
We will provide all technical equipment such as ropes, harnesses, helmets, belay devices and climbing shoes. If you have your own equipment and would like to use it, we'll just need to have a look at it to make sure it's up to our standard.
