First Multi-pitches

After 20 of the recommended climbs (ideally at least a few being grade 10), maybe have a look at some of the smaller multi-pitch climbs. Just make sure you can complete a single pitch, from leaving the ground to back on the ground in 1- 1.5 hours. This is a fairly good guide that you are becoming efficient in your climbing.
