Description

Full of wonderful climbing experiences, the Cascades in Washington are also a wonderful place to learn about rock climbing as well. And on this 2 day course, we will focus on learning and practicing how to climb on traditional routes (or trad routes for short) that follow cracks.

Beginning in a park and ride in Seattle, we will carpool to the climbing area. Once there, we will begin the course that will help you learn the necessary skills for safe and fun traditional route rock climbing. The course starts with an introduction to the equipment used for trad routes. That equipment includes ropes, protection, anchor materials and climbing shoes. You will learn how to properly use the rope and care for your equipment before we venture to the crag. We will then finish off the day with movement instruction, while climbing different cracks in the area. Afterwards, you can camp with the instructors if you wish.

On the second day of the course, the focus will be on practicing climbing movement while placing protection. Throughout the day, you will have plenty of opportunity to top-rope several traditional routes. As a result of this practice, I am confident you will become confident when it comes to trad routes. At the end of the day, we will review what you have learned, as well as provide you with future climbing possibilities.

Participants on this trip should be in good physical condition and have prior rock climbing 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.

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.
