Trad multi pitch cursus
4-8
Learn to climb multi-pitch unbolted routes across various massifs in the Ardennes. During this course, you will learn everything about building anchors and climbing multiple rope lengths, and you will practise a range of basic rescue techniques.
This course is a supplement to the official NKBV KVB Trad qualification and corresponds to the former KVB 4 AK.
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.
