Lower a client from the top of the cliﬀ to the bottom using the munter hitch backed up with a friction hitch.  \n2. Lower a client from the top of the cliﬀ to the bottom using the GriGri with a redirected brake strand.  \n3. Set up a belayed (releasable) rappel system and run it. Make sure you have adequate separation between the two master points. Practice transferring the load from the client’s rappel line to the belay line and back again.  \n• ***For scenarios 1, 2, and 3 think about elevating the master point and leaving adequate work space to run the system and bring the client in and out***  \n4. Belay a client from above oﬀ of a GriGri. Provide assistance using a 3:1 hauling system.  \n5. Belay a client from above oﬀ of a GriGri. Provide assistance using a 3:1+1 hauling system.  \n6. Build anchor systems using bolts, traditional gear, and natural anchors. Practice with cords, slings, and static ropes. Focus on economy of materials.  \nBottom Site:  \n1. Perform an unweighted belay take over.  \n2. Perform a weighted belay take over.  \n3. Ascend the belay side of a top-rope setup. Descend with your client.  \n4. Lead a pitch and belay a client up from above. Lower the client back to the ground.  \n5. Lead a pitch and have the client lower you back to the ground. Either use a back-up belay or friction hitch to back up the client lower.  \nTeaching:  \n1. Prepare and teach a 10-minute lesson on a climbing related topic. Common examples are basic belaying, rappelling, knot tying, friction hitches.  \n2. Teach a client the necessary information before leading a traditionally protected climb. Things to consider are pre-climb checks, belaying, cleaning gear, and communication.  \nComplex Scenarios to practice on the next page.  \nComplex AMGA Single Pitch Instructor Exam Training Scenarios  \nScenario 1:  \nInstructor and clients will approach the cliﬀ from the bottom. The instructor will teach client(s) proper belay techniques (e.g. belayer location, use of back-up belayers), lead the pitch, and return to the ground to run a bottom managed top-rope site. While running the site, practice weighted and unweighted takeovers, ascending, and perform a pick-oﬀ to return stuck client to the ground. Focus on teaching, client and guide security, and application of proper systems/ tools.  \nScenario 2:  \nInstructor and clients will approach the cliﬀ from the bottom. The instructor will teach clients proper belay techniques, lead the pitch, and belay client(s) from the top of the cliﬀ . While belaying client(s) from above, the instructor will perform assistance skills, including the 3:1 haul, 3:1+1 assisted haul, and coaching/vector pull. After the client(s) have completed the climb, the instructor will lower client with a munter hitch or GriGri, or convert the system to a releasable (belayed) rappel. While running the rappel system, instructor should practice assisting a client whose device has gotten jammed with clothing/hair. Once all clients have completed the climb, instructor will clean the anchor and rappel to the ground. Focus on teaching, client and guide security, stance and rope management, and eﬃciency with assistance skills.  \nScenario 3:  \nInstructor and clients will approach the cliﬀ from the top. The instructor will use the static setup rope to build a V-rig anchoring system appropriate for the terrain. Practice using a variety of anchors including, artiﬁcial anchors (trad gear), bolts, and natural anchors (e.g. trees) . The instructor will set up a releasable (belayed) rappel and facilitate the activity for client(s) . Consider adding security when clients enter the system if the terrain dictates (e.g. friction hitch on anchor leg) . Instructor should practice assistance skill of releasing a stuck client and resuming the rappel or transitioning the rappel into a lower with a munter, backed up by a friction hitch. After all the clients have completed the rappel, the","cbCailU4DnLKrmNM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailU4DnLKrmNM","pdf",245502,"English","# Top Site\n## Lowering with munter hitch and friction hitch\n## Lowering with GriGri using redirected brake strand\n## Belayed (releasable) rappel setup and load transfer\n## Assisted belay/hauling from above using GriGri\n## Anchor systems and practical setup\n# Bottom Site\n## Belay takeovers (unweighted/weighted)\n## Ascend/descend on top-rope setup\n## Lead pitch and belay from above; lower back\n# Teaching\n## 10-minute lesson preparation\n## Pre-climb instruction for traditionally protected climbs\n# Complex Scenarios\n## Scenario 1: Bottom approach; bottom-managed top-rope\n## Scenario 2: Bottom approach; belay from the top and assisted haul\n## Scenario 3: Top approach; V-rig anchoring and releasable rappel\n## Scenario 4: Top approach; V-rig anchoring and lowering/lift assistance","[{\"question\":\"What key skills are practiced in the top-site scenarios?\",\"answer\":\"The scenarios emphasize lowering a client with specific systems (munter hitch + friction hitch, or GriGri with a redirected brake strand), running a belayed (releasable) rappel, practicing load transfer between client and belay lines, and building anchor systems with bolts, traditional gear, and natural anchors.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the bottom-site section focus on?\",\"answer\":\"It trains belay takeovers (unweighted and weighted), ascending the belay side of a top-rope setup and descending with the client, and leading pitches with belay and controlled lowering back to the ground.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the complex scenarios integrate teaching and assistance skills?\",\"answer\":\"They combine instructor-led coaching on belay techniques and stance/rope management with practical assistance work such as 3:1, 3:1+1, and coaching/vector pull.
