פיץ'

A pitch is a segment of a long climb. Multi-pitch routes are climbed in leading, and a pitch is the interval between two belay stances.

In theory, a pitch length is limited by the length of the rope used (a fact that explains the frnch term for a pitch: Longeur). In practice, however, the leader more often than not, cannot climb pitches that use the full length of the rope, because of rope drag (friction on the rock and in the passing of the rope/ropes in protection binners. The drag become more irritating.

The same term is also used to denote the belays on the route. For example, the belay at the end of the sixth pitch is also called the sixth pitch.
