Description

Upgrade your climbing capability with us in the stunning setting of the Alps. This intermediate rock climbing course quickly advances your climbing skills and moulds the average climber into a confident, technical climber.

Climbers who are familiar with basic belaying, anchor construction, rappelling methods, all basic equipment, and have some experience with multi-pitch climbs, are the perfect potential participants for this course.

The intermediate course reinforces the techniques of anchoring, belaying, and safety techniques. All of which will be incorporated in multi-pitch climbs.

The course also covers a variety of topics, which include the more advanced anchor systems, gear placements, route finding, belay escape, rope management systems. In addition, you’ll get to know logistical planning for longer routes, strategies for multi-pitch rappel set-ups, and evaluating in-situ anchors and rap stations.

Upon completion of the intermediate course, climbers will have built confidence in their all-round ability to navigate the mountains, as well as being a reliable second for the average recreational leader.

The nature of multi-pitch climbing is a much more complicated and technical activity than typical gym climbing methods, and participants learn how to implement a number of techniques.

This intermediate course is the natural progression from our Rock Fundamentals course, but is also ideal for those who have the equivalent set of skills. To be able to participate in the course, you are expected to have a good level of fitness.

Depending on your specific level of experience, skill and interest, the location in the Alps may be different.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
