Technics
Endurance
Granite is beautiful rock to climb on. However, there are some tips and tricks to follow in granite. We spend the weekend on super rock and will be in the Sewenhütte stay overnight. The region around the Sewenhütte is a climbing paradise par excellence. It has superb rock, climbing gardens and multi-pitch routes of varying difficulty. It also has a lovely swimming lake and the hut is beautifully situated and well catered for. In this area we would like to refresh the basic techniques of multi-pitch climbing together or learn new ones, and we have enough time to go into 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. On this weekend you will learn a lot about climbing in granite and, if you wish, you can also lead climb yourself and gain confidence in the equipment and technique.
