4 Days

Jun - Sep

Description

Join me in this 4-day advanced alpine climbing course in Lesachtal and improve your skills in the alpine terrain! If you already have alpine climbing experience, then this is the perfect course for you.

We will meet at the Wolayersee hut, in Sankt Lorenzen. It's located in the beautiful valley of Lesachtal, in Austria.

Alpine climbing means primarily climbing a route which is only partially secured. So, we use mobile securing devices for protection, such as wedges, pitons and friends which the leader lays down and are taken by another climber.

Personally, I think that using several lengths of top rope and mobile back up devices is a central part of alpine climbing. The course content will be the following:

• Climbing rules, partner check and correct backup
• Construction of the rope course
• Placing mobile backup devices
• Construction, leveling & anchoring series
• Multiple routes

Also, you can check the detailed itinerary below this description.

So if you find this alpine climbing course interesting, contact me! I will answer any questions you may have about this program in Lesachtal. We will spend 5 great days! You can also check my 4-day sport climbing course in Lesachtal.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
