Description
Rock climbing on natural sites is a spectacular experience. From the views to the thrill of scaling a wall that has stood for thousands of years it is definitely something worth doing if you ever have the chance. And on this full-day trip, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, you will get to climb on several different cliffs in Wallonia, Belgium.
The spots we will be focusing on during this day-long trip are Pont-a-Lesse, Grand Malades and Goyet. Each one of these spots will definitely impress and satisfy you. They are all unique and beautiful in their own special way.
This is a beginner level course. We will be focusing on climbing fundamentals that are crucial for safe and successful climbing. Some of what we will cover include safety techniques, sign language, abseiling, food placement, grip, balance and much more. And because this trip is meant for beginners, the only experience you require is some prior indoor wall climbing. Finally, the minimum age for this trip is only 10 years. Thus making it ideal for families to enjoy.
While rock climbing may not be the first thing you think about when thinking about Belgium, there are nonetheless several great spots, particularly in Wallonia. If you are new to natural rock climbing and would like to enjoy those spots, while learning several important climbing skills, just send me a request.
There is also a half-day version of this trip that will take you to different spots in Wallonia.

What people are saying about E-S Adventure Guides

Rachel
We had a great time bouldering with Léo who was really enthusiastic and encouraging, and who selected a good range of boulders to suit our different strengths whilst still being challenging. Would definitely recommend this as a great way to get introduced to outdoor bouldering at Fontainebleau.
Ruth
Willy was a brilliant instructor and guide. He took us on the Pont a Lesse beginners via ferrata, then onto a slightly harder section, and finally a short top-roped climb. We climbed with our 10 and 12 year olds and he was brilliant and making sure they followed all the safety rules, gave them good advice and on a particularly tricky vertical section, used a top rope for extra security. He was really encouraging and great company. He communicated well beforehand and his English was excellent. He also used to be a photographer before he became a climbing instructor, and he took some fabulous photos which he shared with us afterwards. We had a fantastic time and I would definitely recommend going on a trip with him.
Denis
Willy est un très bon guide. Il nous a conseillé une via ferrata plus compliquée et mieux adaptée à notre niveau avant le départ, ce qui était bien vu de sa part. Il nous a guidé sans nous tenir par la main afin de nous laisser notre autonomie et a prit plein de photos de notre ascension.
Oak
Ivan was aan excellent guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, very friendly and approachable. He tailored the day to our experience and gave us loads of great tips to increase our enjoyment and improve our skills. I would highly recommend a day's bouldering with Ivan.
