Description

Rock Climbing is a thrilling, difficult, fun and physically demanding activity. It offers as much as it requires. As a result, it is important to get proper training so you can enjoy the activity safely and securely. And on this rock climbing course that can last from one to several days, it is our goal to teach you as much as possible. And we will do that in the beautiful Appalachian mountains of North Carolina.

There are a number of great climbing sites to choose from in the mountains of North Carolina. And we will use our experience to find the perfect one for you. And once that site is established, we will begin teaching you several important techniques crucial for successful rock climbing.

During this course you will learn about the different types of knots you will need. Those knots include a bowline, water knot, double fisherman, clover hitch, prussik and different variations of a figure eight knot. We will cover climbing equipment, from harnesses to belaying tools, and how to properly use them. We will cover anchoring details, including bolts and how to create a common point. And we will cover rappelling, from the necessary devices to back-ups and self belaying. There are other techniques we will go over as well, and the amount you learn will depend on how much time you wish to take the course.

So if you want to learn how to rock climb on some great sites in a beautiful mountain range, send us a request. We will be happy to not only teach you this great sport, but to also show you the beauty of the North Carolina Appalachian mountains.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.
