Singlepitching is a lead-climbing discipline where you climb from ground to a single anchor point. If there are multiple anchor points on the route, it is called Multipitching.

Prerequisites

Knowledge

To perform singlepitching safely, one must learn the following techniques:

Clipping (clipping, quickdraw safe use, carabiner safe use)
Lead-climb belaying (Belaying from harness with a Tuber, Tuber belaying safety)
Lead-climb foot placement
Building an anchor (and setting up a toprope)
Cleaning up the anchor and getting lowered (optionally also the quick method)
Abseiling
Bailing a route from a single bolt

Gear

Climbing rope (dynamic, twice as long as the length of the routes you plan to climb)
Carabiners (a few D-carabiners based on what is your plan, at least one HMS carabiner per climber)
Sling for building an Anchor
Quickdraws (enough for the amount of bolts on a route, it is handy to have a few extra)
Belay device
Harness
Climbing shoes
Topo of the crag
Small medkit

Consumables

Water
Food
Sun protection
