Show Up Ready To Learn

The AMGA Single Pitch Instructor Course is designed to challenge climbers and develop instructional and risk management skills in a professional setting. Participants often arrive with varying levels of experience, and those who come prepared are typically able to get more out of the course.

Our SPI Course Prep is designed to help climbers strengthen foundational skills before attending an AMGA SPI Course. The goal is not to teach the SPI curriculum itself, but rather to help participants arrive confident, prepared, and ready to learn.

This course is particularly valuable for climbers attending upcoming SPI Courses hosted in Prescott and elsewhere.
