Infos & BookingDescription
Do you want to be autonomous in rock climbing?
This climbing course taking place in the Vercors massif around Grenoble is perfect to learn the essentials of rope handling, such as the installation of a top rope or the managment of an anchor when climbing a multi pitch route.
After this day you will have acquired the essential rope handlings that you have to know to climb safely and enjoy yourself on the cliff.
This day can be spent on one of the many Vercors cliffs located near Grenoble: Petit Désert, Désert de l’Écureuil, Saillants du Gua, Allières, Lans-en-Vercors, and others. All offer numerous routes on beautiful limestone rock. You will find routes of all levels (from grade 4 to grade 8), all styles (slab, vertical wall, overhang, crack, etc.), and all lengths. Some sites are better suited to warmer weather (higher altitude with shade), while others are very pleasant even when it is a bit chilly. You are sure to find the perfect cliff to match your desires and skill level!
I also offer other courses to improve your skills, your knowledge of equipment and your autonomy: a discovery of aid climbing in Isère, a technical climbing course in the Vercors dedicated to safety on cliffs, or a course in Isère to better manage your fear of falling while climbing.
