Description

Traditional climbing is considered pure climbing. That means rocks don’t suffer any kind of damage, unlike other disciplines in which walls are perforated to embed bolts.

In traditional climbing all safety devices are not on walls but on climbers. So, they use many different protections such as springs, stoppers and nuts in case of cracks or fragile rocks.

Today, I want to offer you an incredible 2-day program in California where my team and I will teach you all the techniques of traditional climbing in long routes. All that a climber has always wanted to know!

Classes will be taught by me and my team of professional guides. Each content is previously certified by the international protocols of the AMGA (American Association of Mountain Guides). So, as you can see, it is a very secure and vanguard course.

During these two learning days of traditional climbing you will learn:

How to use hands for long routes climbing
How to tie professional knots
How to build anchors using removable protections
How to evaluate each terrain before the anchor building
How to move from one station to another safely
How to put the protections on
How to know when to use each protection

These two days will be intensive and you will learn a lot. Besides, you can apply all that new knowledge climbing real walls in a really inspiring environment. We will also enjoy some sustained hikes in order to train our bodies.

For booking, knowing available dates and the places where this course will be done, please contact me. It will be a pleasure for me to help you to improve your traditional climbing skills. You won’t regret!

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!

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.
