Description

In the heart of the Cascades in the state of Washington, you will get to spend 2 days learning a number of important skills and techniques that crucial for safe and enjoyable rock climbing.

This course is separated into 2 parts. The first day will focus primarily on learning several important skills. Meanwhile, the second day will focus on putting those recently learned skills into practice on multi-pitch climbing routes.

Potential spots for the first day’s course include the Index Town Walls, the Snoqualmie pass, Exit 38 or a route in the North Cascades National Park. After establishing our camp, we will begin practicing. The skills learned during the first day include climbing equipment selection, safety check system, multi-pitch climbing communication, introduction to anchor building and much more.

For the multi-pitch climbing on the second day, participants will belay guides as they lead the route. Guides will then belay each participant from the top as the students remove protection while climbing. After participants have reached the belay, they will assist the guide with racking gear, managing the belay and setting up rope for the next pitch. From the top, you will get to enjoy some magnificent views. Afterwards, you can either rappel back down to or walk back to the base.

Participants should have prior rock climbing experience and be in good physical condition.

If you have ambitions on climbing peaks like Mount Shuksan and the Forbidden peak, among others, you have to learn how to do so properly. And on this 2 day course, our intention is help you learn and hone those skills. To participate, just send us a request.

We also offer a longer, more extensive 4 day version of this course as well.

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.
