Basic multi-pitch course | Climbing weekend with application tours
Over the three days, we will teach you everything you need to know about multi-pitch climbing so that you can climb simple multi-pitch routes independently and safely on your own after the course. The three days provide you with knowledge in planning, stand construction, rope handling, theory and application of rescue and first aid. Of course, there will also be plenty of fun and climbing in the most beautiful granite!
Susten Pass
Do you finally want to venture from the climbing garden into the long tours and not be back on the ground after just one pitch, but instead get through pitch after pitch? On these three days we will climb on super rock and learn a few tips and tricks along the way. We spend the night at the Alpin Centre Sustenpass and are therefore in a climbing paradise, as climbing gardens and multi-pitch routes of varying degrees of difficulty await us on our doorstep. We learn the basic techniques of multi-pitch climbing for the first time or refresh them and have enough time to go into more advanced techniques, tips and tricks. We put what we have learnt into practice straight away and go on suitable multi-pitch routes. On the second evening, our mountain guide will give a theoretical input on "Meteo, rescue and first aid". This will give you an insight into different rescue techniques, which we can also use and practise the next day. You will learn a lot on these training and application days and, if you wish, you will also be able to lead climb yourself and gain confidence in the equipment and techniques.
