Description

I’m happy to invite you to live an unforgettable 6 day trip in Cerces and Ecrins. Both are great rock climbing spots to practice some multi-pitch rock climbing and improve your safety skills.

Rock climbing in Cerces is technical and varied because the limestone there is quite compact and well protected. The approach walks can be significant, reinforcing the alpine character of the site. On the other side, rock climbing in Ecrins is on an alpine granite with compact slabs and cracks, where the equipment is not always complete.

During these 6 days I will teach you the main top rope climbing techniques on different rock types in the beautiful limestone mountains of Cerces and the granite of the Ecrins. You will also learn:
– Climbing techniques with very varied styles.
– Safety techniques.
– Progression techniques specific for multi-pitch routes as how to build an anchor and manage a safety abseiling.
– How to feel confident on equipped multi-pitch routes and on trad.
– Self rescue and rescue techniques.

All participants must have a 5b technical level. That means that previous rock climbing experience is needed as well as a good physical condition.

Lorenzo

Fantastic experience, the instructor Willy is very knowledgeable and capable, recommended experience

Catriona

It was such a fun experience, as beginners in just a few hours we got some really helpful tips to improve our bouldering in general, as well as a great explanation on how to navigate the Fontainebleau maze and confidence to boulder outside independently in future. Ivan obviously really cares about protecting the rocks and the forest environment, his enthusiasm and volunteering his time sets such a good example. Also it was really kind to help us with a good walking trail for after the session and make sure we set off on the right way.
