PROGRAMME
Climbing day on rock
A day at the crag, where we learn the various course topics hands-on and practise them extensively on the rock, so that by the end of the day you can set off on your first outdoor sport climbing routes with plenty of self-confidence. This is not about dry theory, but about understanding, applying and repeating. You learn the procedures step by step, right where you will need them later. Depending on the group and the terrain, we take time for the most important topics around climbing on natural rock: from belaying and rethreading to the differences between the gym and the outdoors. And of course we climb, too – after all, what you learn should stick not only in your head but also in your hands and feet. As the day goes on, your routine grows, and that is exactly what makes the step onto rock much more relaxed.
Total time: 1 day
Any changes to the programme that may become necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, availability of accommodation, etc.) are always made in consultation with the participants.
