Description
Do you enjoy independent rock climbing, but want to do so responsibly? Then this 2-day course is perfect for you as it focuses on rescue and self-rescue techniques. The course will take place at the Grands Malades in the Wallonia region of Belgium. It is a beautiful area, full of great views and wonderful climbing.
Safety is crucial when it comes to rock climbing; however, accidents do occur, and it is important to know how to deal with them, whether you are climbing alone or with a partner. And on this course, we will focus on several topics and techniques that will aid you in the event of an accident or problematic situation. Some of what we will cover includes how to escape during a climbing retreat in the lead and how to get back on the rope when you cannot pass a passage. We will also focus on assistance to the second in a difficult passage, intervention for unlocking your partner and rappelling down with them and much more.
This course takes place from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, each day. However, if time is an issue, you can also enjoy this course over 4 days, from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm each day. Those dates are on the 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th of June. Each day is a Wednesday.
In order to participate on this trip you should be able to climb autonomously.
Learning about rescue and self-rescue techniques is very important to safe and successful rock climbing. And on this 2-day course, I will teach you many of those techniques. Moreover, you will get to learn them on the beautiful Grands Malades in Wallonia, Belgium. To take this course, just send me a request.
I also offer a 2-day single-pitch rock climbing course at the Grands Malades, which you can enjoy here.

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.
