Climbing Salbit South Ridge

Granite is beautiful rock to climb on. However, there are a few tips and tricks to bear in mind when climbing granite. We spend the weekend in super rock and will be in the Sewenhütte stay overnight. The region around the Sewenhütte is a climbing paradise par excellence. It has bombastic rocks, great climbing gardens and multi-pitch routes of varying difficulty. It also has a lovely swimming lake and the hut is superbly catered and beautifully situated. 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 safety devices, i.e. cams and wedges. We'll put what we've 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.
