Description

In the beautiful natural surroundings of Croatia’s Paklenica National Park, I would like to guide you on an advanced level climbing course.

For people who rock climb on a regular basis, the goal is to often find the next challenge, to find that next wall where you can push yourself even more. And on the canyons of Paklenica, I can show you some walls that will satisfy your ambitions. However, this trip is not just a scenic climbing excursion. It is also an informative course that will help you advance your already developed skill level even more. In fact, the goal of this course is to help you transition from an experienced rock climber to a rock climbing leader in future expeditions. Hence providing you with a brand new set of skills that could precede a brand new set of goals.

Over the course of the day, we will go over the following things.

How to lead sports routes without the safety of a top rope
Proper techniques for safe leading
How to use climbing equipment
Proper lead belaying techniques

This course is reserved for advanced level climbers. So to participate on this trip you should have good lead climbing or prior top-rope experience, and want to learn how to climb lead. Multi-pitch experience is a plus, but not a requirement. It is also important that you are physically fit as well.

It’s a big step becoming a leader in anything, particularly something as demanding and challenging as rock climbing. However, during this course in Paklenica, you will learn what is necessary to become a rock climbing leader. And you will leave a far more confident climber than you were when you arrived. So send me a request, and let’s start climbing.

I also offer a custom, multi-pitch rock climbing trip in Paklenica as well.

Mountain Leader

I was born in Zadar, but I grew up at the base of Velebit, the greatest Croatian mountain, and this shaped the rest of my life. Living in the nature gave me everything I dreamed of. In the same place I had mountains, river and the sea.
I am CMGA certified (Croatian Mountain Guide Association) and UIMLA guide (2013).
I love to explore new destinations, sharing them with nature lovers. And there's more than just the adventure. Indeed, I will take you to discover the locations learning the local people way of living and trying the traditional local food.
In the end, my goal is for you to take home the best memories of this experience!

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

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.
