Multi-pitch climbing – beginners weekend
This course is for anyone who wants to learn how to climb multi-pitch routes independently from scratch. You should already have some experience in lead climbing (indoor and outdoor) and be keen to deepen your knowledge of rope techniques, belaying and safe abseiling.
Together with our experienced mountain guide Patrick, you will learn step by step how to move safely vertically on the sun-drenched granite walls of Bellinzona. You will learn how to build solid fixed points, master communication within the rope team and what is really important when planning your first own tours in alpine terrain. Risk management and dealing confidently with altitude and exposure are also key components of our weekend together.
We work in a small group of a maximum of five participants so that you have plenty of room for questions, intensive practice and personal progress. No hectic, but with maximum learning success! Thanks to the relaxed arrival on Friday evening, we start our climbing adventure directly on the rock on Saturday morning without any time pressure.
Perfect for anyone who wants to take their climbing skills to the next level and is looking for a professional, personal introduction to the world of big walls.
