Technics
Endurance
Climbing on multi-pitch routes is fantastic. Sport, nature and exercise come together here. This weekend we will climb on super rock and learn a few tips and tricks along the way. We will refresh the basic techniques of multi-pitch climbing or learn them anew and have enough time to go into more advanced techniques, tips and tricks. We will also show you the basics of climbing with mobile belay devices, i.e. cams and wedges. We will put what we have learnt into practice straight away and go on suitable multi-pitch routes. You will learn a lot on this training and application day and, if you wish, you will also lead climb yourself and gain confidence in the equipment and technique.
