What to expect on your advanced rock climbing course
Improve your rock climbing skills in the Jura during a four-hour private session, led by a qualified climbing instructor.
This outing is aimed at independent climbers who are proficient in belaying and are already climbing at a minimum grade of 6b. Work on your technique and route-reading skills on cliffs suited to your level.
After discussing your climbing habits and goals, the session will focus on specific areas: optimising footwork, pacing, route reading and memorisation, and sequence strategy.
