What "multi pitch" means in rock climbing

Multi pitch climbing refers to a type of rock climbing where the climb is longer than a single rope length, requiring the climber to ascend in stages using several ropes attached to anchors or bolts on the rock face. In multi pitch climbing, climbers have to stop at various points on the rock face to reset the anchors and attach to another rope to continue the climb. This type of climbing requires advanced planning, communication, and teamwork between the climbers to ensure safety and efficiency.
