2 Days

Jun - Oct


Description

Hokkaido is not  only for powder snow in winter.  I would like to take you to Sounkyo to enjoy crack climbing and enjoy Hokkaido’s Summer Days!

About 3 hours drive from Sapporo,  Sounkyo in Kamikawa-cho is located in Daisetsuzan National Park.  Its scenic gorges are at the the foot of Mt. Kuro.  It is Hokkaido’s well known famous ice climbing area but in summer you can enjoy crack climbing.  It is also known as a hot spring resort with high quality of water.

Crack climbing can be challenging if you have never tried.  This 2 day course is perfect for beginners or climbers who just want to brush up basic skills.   During this 2 days Introductory+crack climbing course, you will learn basic climbing theory.   I will also teach  you the basics of hand and foot jams as climbing cracks requires very different movements from normal rock climbing. Protections are also necessary and I will explain passive protections and how to place them.  If we have enough time, we can try to use them when you climb.  Let me know if you want to learn how to use passive protections when applying for this course.

Come join us for fun days out and exhilarating days on the rock, and enjoy the scenic gorges!  I am waiting for you to contact me!

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!

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.
