### **Welcome to a very interesting rock climbing course for beginners in Santa Clara, an Amazon region in the northeast of Ecuador.**

It's my pleasure to invite you to this **introductory course in Santa Clara**. It will take **1 or 2 days**, according to your wishes and expectations. I think it is a perfect occasion for those who want to take their first steps in rock climbing. Moreover, if you're are curious and want to **feel the excitement of climbing a rocky wall in a natural environment**, this is your chance!

When you start rock climbing you start to use your body and many other muscles you didn't even know existed. And the higher you climb the funnier it is. But you must have some basic knowledge to do it in a safe way. That's why I have planned this course in Santa Clara.

This workshop starts with the **basic principles of rock climbing**, knots, top rope and assurance techniques between two people. That way you will gain some confidence before the most important part of the course.

The other stage is to **put into practice what you've learned**. So, you will climb a vertical wall applying all the theoretical concepts and by the end of the course, you will be ready to pass a belay test of rock gym.

Now, you will be confident enough to move on to the next stage. That's why, after this program, you can continue improving your techniques through [**this 6-day mountaineering course**](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/introductory-mountaineering-course-ecuador/) I am also leading.

**So, contact me now so we can discuss and plan your next rock climbing learning day in Santa Clara.**

Juliana, a local IFMGA guide, is leading this rock climbing course for beginners in Santa Clara. You'll learn the basis of this activity during 1 or 2 days.

Rock climbing course in Santa Clara for beginners

Welcome to this fantastic intermediate mountaineering course in Ecuador, through which we'll spend **6 days learning and practicing** some alpine climbing techniques.

This course provides an introduction to the **intermediate-moderate rock climbing level**. Besides that, it perfectly works as a technical improvement of your current techniques. And if you have already taken [**the introductory course**](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/introductory-mountaineering-course-ecuador/), this one will help you raise your skills to a higher stage.

The aim of this intermediate mountaineering course is that you can feel safe in the mountains. In addition, you have the opportunity to put into practice all you will learn. Therefore, **I will help you climb one of the most spectacular Andean summits**. The North and South Illinizas, the Sincholagua and the Rucu Pichincha are some of them.

If you want to join me on this 6-day course **you must have an excellent fitness level**. Please keep in mind that we will walk several hours per day. The idea of these outputs is to share other mountaineering techniques beyond the mountain itself. For example, you will understand the real meaning of going out to the mountains for more than a day and carrying the equipment on your back. Moreover, some security procedures and the organization of a plan B are many other notions you will learn on the way.

Summarizing, during this course you will learn the following concepts:

*   _Rescue procedures: rescue anchors, raising and lowering systems;_
    
*   _Rock climbing skills and belay anchors;_
    
*   _Ice climbing skills on alpine ice (45 degrees or more);_
    
*   _Crampon technique;_
    
*   _Use of ice tools, screws and pickets;_
    
*   _How to build and use ice anchors for belaying;_
    
*   _Group leadership and trip planning._
    

Once this course finishes you will be ready to climb a mountain autonomously and safely.

Finally, let me tell you that I am planning to extend this course in many other countries of South America. Therefore, you can contact me if you are in Perú, Bolivia and Colombia!

**So, contact me now for more details about next dates and group prices. It will be my pleasure to help you become a confident mountaineer!**

If you have some basic notions on alpine climbing this 6-day intermediate mountaineering course is for you. Do it with Juliana, a local IFMGA guide.

Outdoor rock climbing course in Cojitambo

San Pedro de **Cayambe** is a city in the northeast of Pichincha, Ecuador. It is the head of the Cayambe canton which takes its name from the famous volcano. Undoubtedly, it is one of the best places to practice and learn new glacier skills as well as **crevasse rescue procedures**.

This program I present today consists in a **3-day course** in Cayambe. It is specially designed to share all my knowledge and expertise with you. The aim of this course is that you can develop well in all the mountains you’ll go.

So, it is necessary to have a proper background of their lands, weather, their seasons and the effects of winds. Furthermore, it is also mandatory that you know how the glacier works and how to use the technical equipment. And the most important part, which are the safest maneuvers in a case of rescue.

Some of the main content you’ll learn and practice during these 3 days is:

*   **_How to advance on roped glacier;_**
    
*   **_Some basic crevasse rescue techniques;_**
    
*   **_The proper use of the ice axe._**
    

So, this 3-day course in Cayambe will give you all the tools you need to take your first steps into the ice climbing world. I think it is an excellent introductory opportunity **for beginners** **as well as for experienced leaders** who want to refresh some notions.

This learning trip is available all year round and its cost will depend on the group size and number of participants.

Finally, let me tell you that I am planning to extend this course in many other countries of South America. Therefore, you can contact me if you are in Perú, Bolivia and Colombia!

### **I have the honor to invite you to this** introductory mountaineering course**, which will take place in Cayambe and will last 6 days.**

As you may know, **Cayambe** is a really great place for the practice of mountain activities. That is because it is located in the province of **Pichincha**, which is dominated by the eastern and western Andes. There is no better spot where to lead this **introductory mountaineering course**!

Thanks to my vast professional experience I could learn through the years that climbing a mountain is more than reaching its summit. It's all about the views on the way, the people you meet and the process and effort the ascent involves.

So, I have planned this **6-day course** thinking about that. I would like to provide you with all the basic information you need to really enjoy a climb. And you won't only learn the theory. You will be able to **put it into practice** through some rock and ice climbing itineraries in **Cayambe**.

In addition, I will teach you many glacier travel techniques, crevasse rescue procedures and how to move on snow and ice autonomously. And as if it wasn't enough, the course culminates with **a summit attack to the Cayambe!**

Summarizing, in this introductory mountaineering course you will learn:

*   _Theoretical and practical notions of mountaineering such as map reading, influence of weather and mountain hygiene;_
    
*   _How to move on rock, ice and snow;_
    
*   _Nuts and sport climbing techniques;_
    
*   _How to use snow anchors;_
    
*   _Crevasses recognition;_
    
*   _Self-rest from a crevasse;_
    
*   _How to be in a rope team;_
    
*   _Use of ice screws and ice axes;_
    
*   _Resistance to cold, hunger and fatigue._
    

It is a really important course if you're taking your first steps in mountaineering or if you want to improve your current techniques. And if you are interested in ice climbing specifically, please check out [**my 3-day glacier skills course**](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/glacier-crevasse-rescue-course-cayambe/), also in **Cayambe**.

Finally, let me tell you that I am planning to extend this course in many other countries of **South America.** Therefore, you can contact me if you are in **Perú**, **Bolivia** and **Colombia**!

**So, be part of this learning experience and enjoy the mountains in a safe and serious way. Please get in touch with me for more information about dates and prices. I will be here, waiting for you!**
