Learn "rock solid" essential climbing skills from Japan Mountain Guides for beginners to rock climb safely.

1 Day

Mar - May


Description

Join this course to experience and learn rock climbing in Hokkaido – designed for beginners and intermediate climbers.

If you’re traveling in Hokkaido for a hike or for sightseeing, why don’t you include a day on the rocks by the sea and experience a new sport at the same time?

This is a private course but if you’d be interested in joining a group then please see info under “Looking to join a group?” – please note that it will take place at a different crag.

This course welcomes those who have always wanted to go climbing but did not know how to start and where to go. I help you to start rock climbing safely and / or to improve your rock climbing skills.

The course is run in the popular climbing area of Akaiwa in Hokkaido, just 40 minutes drive from Sapporo. I teach the basics in one day on a variety of different levels of climbing routes,

  • Basic rock-climbing knots
  • Efficient climbing techniques
  • “Top-rope” climbing for beginners
  • Constructing an anchor
  • Rappelling down from a belay point
Gear Rentals

Equipment rentals are available. For beginners I can rent everything and for experienced climbers with own gears please tell me which gears you want to rent:

  • climbing shoes (please tell me your shoe size)
  • harness
  • helmet
  • chalk bag
  • belay device.

Rental is 1000 yen each. I can also design lessons to be focused on skills improvements so please let me know.

Please contact me to organize a course where you can learn the basics to safely enjoy rock climbing.

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.
