Autonomous climbing course (level I) in the Pyrenees

I put together this climbing course in the Pyrenees, exploring the rocky walls of two fantastic destinations in the mountain range. The first weekend we will go to the Gripp valley, in France, and the second one to Mallos de Riglos, in Spain.

This course lasts 4 days, to be divided into two weekends (that can or not be consecutive). We will get the most of each location. Besides enjoying the varied natural landscape, we will have very different terrains to practice in.

This course is perfect if you already practice climbing occasionally (or often!) in climbing rooms and you wish to go further in a natural site, practicing multi-pitch climbing.

During this course you will acquire a solid technical base for multi-pitch rock climbing. You need to know how to climb leading on single-pitch, and how to belay a leader.

The final objective of the course is to climb the Mallos de Riglos autonomously during the second weekend.

We will work on:
– Belaying in an equipped multi-pitch route
– Belaying the second in the rops
– Chaining the pitches
– Installing an abseil
– Abseiling down self-belayed

The first weekend we will go to the Gripp valley, in France. The first day we will do climbing school to learn the techniques above. On the second day we will put it into practice at a multi-pitch route of the Lheris.

The second weekend we will meet in Riglos, in Spain. This weekend we will refresh the learnt techniques and practice in varied routes, so that you can gain autonomy for your future climbing adventures. We will climb Puro, with its 10 pitches and cramped top!

Did this climbing course sound interesting? Then book this trip and join me in the Pyrenees for two fantastic weekends! And I also offer a 3-day climbing program in Riglos.
