Lead climbing 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 become acquainted with pre-climbing, the branch of climbing where there is no rope in the route yet. This means that you climb above your last point of security and have to climb the rope along the way. This course is a great next step for those who have experience with toprope climbing and want to take the next step in climbing.
Why this course
You're going to have a wonderful weekend of climbing in the Ardennes while relaxing at our base camp. You also get the opportunity to earn your Indoor Pre-Climbing (KVB-IV) while climbing outside. Above all, it's a fun weekend with fellow students 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.
