Multi-pitch week
6-12
Get to know pre-climbing, on the rocks! During the Outdoor Pre-Climbing Introduction, you will learn the principles of pre-climbing. The instructors will teach you the most important and techniques and aspects of pre-climbing.
Are you doing well with this course? Then you can also have yourself tested by one of the instructors and you will have the opportunity to obtain your Indoor Pre-Climbing Skill Certificate. So you can climb ahead independently in the hall.
What are you going to do?
During this course, you will get to know multi-pitch climbing and learn everything in one week. This means you will learn to climb multiple rope lengths and, after this course, you will be ready to tackle the highest mountains! This course is an excellent next step for those with experience in single pitch climbing who want to push their climbing further.
Why this course?
You will spend an entire week climbing in the Ardennes while relaxing at our base camp. You also have the opportunity to earn your Multi-Pitch certificate (KVB-OVMP) in one week rather than over two separate weekends. Above all, it is a great week with fellow participants and instructors!
Where are you going to climb
The course takes place in one or more beautiful climbing areas in the Ardennes, such as Pont-à-Lesse, within walking distance of the base camp. Other areas are usually 25 minutes' drive from our base camp at Villatoile campsite. Transportation here is on your own; of course, we will set up a carpool schedule together.
Fully cared for
From our base camp, we provide a delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner and a spot to pitch a tent. If you don't have a tent, you can rent a pop-up tent from us that we'll set up for you! We also have delicious drinks during an evening of relaxing and chatting with fellow students.
