Description

I’m happy to invite you to live an unforgettable 6 day trip in Cerces and Ecrins. Both are great rock climbing spots to practice some multi-pitch rock climbing and improve your safety skills.

Rock climbing in Cerces is technical and varied because the limestone there is quite compact and well protected. The approach walks can be significant, reinforcing the alpine character of the site. On the other side, rock climbing in Ecrins is on an alpine granite with compact slabs and cracks, where the equipment is not always complete.

During these 6 days I will teach you the main top rope climbing techniques on different rock types in the beautiful limestone mountains of Cerces and the granite of the Ecrins. You will also learn:
– Climbing techniques with very varied styles.
– Safety techniques.
– Progression techniques specific for multi-pitch routes as how to build an anchor and manage a safety abseiling.
– How to feel confident on equipped multi-pitch routes and on trad.
– Self rescue and rescue techniques.

All participants must have a 5b technical level. That means that previous rock climbing experience is needed as well as a good physical condition.

Come climb with me to Cerces and Briançon and learn while enjoying a unique trip. Click on the green button and make your reservation now. It’ll be my pleasure to be your guide!

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.
