Description

Come climb with me the "Great Wall" in the Verdon Gorges. During this 6-day trip you will improve your current climbing skills in some of the most spectacular gorges and canyons in Europe. The Verdon Gorges are located in Haute Provence Alps, southeast of France.

Climbing at the Verdon Gorges is enjoying the best carved and sticky rock with spectacular surroundings and large walls. An experience you should live at least once in your life! We will practice multi-pitch climbing.

During this program I will teach you how to progress safely on big wall. You will also learn many other important techniques, such as:
– How to build different types of anchors,
– How to abseil a big wall and manage an overhang or pendulum,
– Rescue and self rescue
– Getting familiar with heights and routes of 100-300 meters long.

This trip is suitable for experienced climbers, especially for those who have tried some high routes before. The climbing level is 5b minimum.

Want to come to the Verdon Gorges? Then send me your request to book the trip. I will be eager to guide you in such an amazing rock climbing spot! I also enjoy rock climbing in les Calanques and Verdon.

Very nice trip. The via ferrate was not very difficult. We could finish it in about 1hour and a half. The remaining time we did another (small, slightly more difficult) via ferrata and some climbing. Great guide.

Pont-à-Lesse via ferrata is gorgeous, and Willy is the best guide one can wish for: very knowledgeable and calm. This was my very first ferrata, and Willy helped me feel and be safe. Many thanks!

Such a great way to experience climbing in another country/area! Ivan was my climbing guide and he was super knowledgable and supportive. We went through warm ups, stretches, and best falling practices before we began. I'm an intermediate climber and I learned a lot and felt very safe! He even showed me exercises that could help improve my technique. I'm super grateful I booked through explore-share and plan to do so again when I'm traveling!

We had a great day with Leo. He drove us to a spot with many problems from easy to hard. He was super supportive and positive and gave excellent coaching and climbing advice. He didn't just give beta but really worked with us on the subtle techniques necessary at Fontainebleau.

Petit couac pendant l'organisation, mais tout est rentré dans l'ordre et c'est très bien passé au final
