Grimsel
Vertiefungskurs Mehrseillängen intensiv | Einführung und alpine Anwendungstouren
We refresh and expand your existing knowledge so that you can climb an alpine multi-pitch route independently and safely after the course. The three days will provide you with knowledge in planning, belay station construction, rope handling, mobile belay devices, theory and application of rescue and first aid as well as fun and climbing in the most beautiful rock.
Bergell
Grimsel
Granite is beautiful rock to climb on. However, there are a few tips and tricks to bear in mind when climbing granite. We spend three days in super rocks and will stay overnight in the region. We are therefore in the climbing paradise par excellence. There are many climbing gardens and multi-pitch routes of varying difficulty. In this area we would like to refresh the basic techniques of multi-pitch climbing together, with 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 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. During these three days you will learn a lot about climbing in granite and, if you wish, you will also be able to lead climb yourself and gain confidence in the equipment and technique, as well as gaining confidence in first aid so that you will be able to do alpine multi-pitch climbs yourself with a lot of joy and enthusiasm in the future.
