Description

On this full day course, I would like to teach you how to sport rock climb. Geared toward beginners, this course will help you learn several skills necessary for proper, fun and safe sport rock climbing. Furthermore, we will be taking this course in the mountainous region of British Columbia, Canada, near the beautiful area of Squamish.

This course is ideal for people who feel they are ready to progress from indoor gym climbing or outdoor bouldering. This course is for those who are ready to take on nature’s climbing walls.

Like anything, it is necessary to learn the basics of rock climbing. It is crucial in order to progress to more advanced techniques that can lead you to bigger, more challenging, and ultimately more rewarding rock walls. Some examples of what you will learn during this course include the following.

  • Lead theory

  • Belaying a leader

  • Clipping techniques

  • Common crag hazards

  • Rappelling

  • Guidebook and equipment use

  • Anchor construction and cleaning

  • Commands

  • climbing techniques

  • Sport climbing terminology

  • And much more

Surrounded by the unforgettable natural beauty of British Columbia, this sport climbing course is a great way to spend a day. Not only will it teach you a great deal, but you will also have a great time.

So are you ready to take the big step into the adventurous world of sport climbing? Then send me a request and lets get started. I look forward to guiding you!

About the guide

I am an ACMG Rock Guide, I started guiding because I am very passionate about teaching people the technical side of climbing as well as the emotional achievements that come with challenging yourself and connecting with nature.

I have been climbing since I was a kid with my teddy bear clipped to my harness, and since then I have dedicated years to travelling, rock climbing, mountaineering, and improving my technical skills.

I have climbed El Capitan in Yosemite Valley 4 times, sent 5.12 in 5 different countries, and love combining the techniques from rock types around the world. I am also an Industrial Rope Access Technician and enjoy geeking out on the physics of rope systems.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard
