Description

Join me for a half-day, a full day, a weekend or even a week of rock climbing in the best climbing spots of Belgium. Most of them are located in the south of the country, in Wallonia. Some of the best rock climbing spots where we can go are:

Freyr,
Chaleux,
Pont à Lesse,
Paradou – Yvoir,
Carrière de Chansin – Durnal,
Beez,
Grands Malades,
Goyet,
Landelies,
Rochers du Néviau – Dave,
Marche Les Dames,
Mozet,
Vignobles – Sy,
Tilf,
Esneux,
Corphalie,
Awirs.

I’ll organize a program according to your wishes, your technical level and what you want to learn. The trip can be from easy to sustained, from a half-day to several days long. We can go to only one of these destinations or explore various ones. I can take 4 to 8 people with me, depending on the program.

I can also design a program for more experienced climbers who want to discover the different walls of Wallonia and/or improve their current rock climbing skills. In that way I’ll help you become more autonomous, focusing on security and safety. We can also practice both traditional and aid climbing. Sport and multi-pitch routes are interesting options too.

Finally, I also organize via ferrata programs in Wallonia as well in many other amazing spots. Among them: Pont à Lesse (easy), Grands Malades (intermediate), Landelies (sustained).

Feel free to send me a request if you want to climb these amazing sites in Wallonia. It will be my great pleasure to guide you here and let you enjoy an amazing time in my beautiful country 😉

We had a great experience with Willy Viez in Wallonie. He shared a lot of useful knowledge with us about alpine rock climbing, especially about lead climbing. His pointers and real life examples turned out to be essential on the following day when we tried to climb an easy route on our own (no quick draws were left behind). Willy assisted us in a way that resulted in great personal accomplishments for the day and he surely helped us to feel more at ease around real rocks. We are very happy with this adventure that has a long lasting after effect.

Friday was my second time climbing with Explore-Share, and it's the second time that they put real effort into making sure that the experience was exactly what I was looking for. I was climbing near Namur (Wallonia, Belgium) with Cristoph whose competant, patient, safety-orientated demeanour put me at ease when it came to lead-climbing and multi-pitching for the first time. He was familiar with the area, chose the spot well and gave me confidence to take my climbing further. I'm happy to recommend Explore-Share and will be using them to plan my adventures for the summer.

We had a great day on the cliffs of Freyr with Christophe. He showed us some really nice climbing spots and gave us a lot of hints were to go climbing in the area. We did two nice multi-pitch tours and some sports climbing... Christophe did a fantastic job showing us the ins and outs. He found the right mix to both challenge and support us, always having an eye on safety - and most important, we had a lot of fun.
