About

The American Mountain Guides (AMGA) Single Pitch Instructor Course is the first in the sequence of climbing instructor and guide training programs. This is a great way to transition from a capable recreational climber to an effective climbing instructor. The SPI course is intended for recreational climbers who are already proficient in both top-rope and lead climbing. Since 2008 Red River Adventures has constantly provided the very best in Single Pitch Instruction to students.

Course Pre-Requisites

• You are at least 18 years old
• You have a genuine interest in rock climbing and instructing novices on single pitch crags
• You have at least 12 months of prior climbing experience
• You are an active climber with traditional lead climbing experience
• Have trad lead climbed a minimum of 15 graded rock climbing routes (any grade)
• Are capable of comfortably climbing 5.8 while on a top rope

The pre-requisites listed above are absolute minimums and most candidates have skills in excess of the above. Without having at least this amount of experience you are unlikely to play a constructive part in the course or be able to make the best use of the training. If you are unsure of your skill level we suggest a day with one of our Certified Single Pitch Instructors to evaluate and enhance your skills and experience prior to SPI Program enrollment.
