Description

Rock climbing is a fantastic activity. Fun and thrilling, scaling a rock wall not only gives you a great feeling, but allows you to get some great views, depending on where you are climbing. And on this full day trip, you will be climbing on some great rock walls in the Coast mountains of British Columbia, near Squamish. However, this trip is not just about climbing. Instead, the focus of this adventure will be rock climbing rescue. Our goal on this trip to teach you how to respond in the event of an accident, or any other unfortunate incident.

This course is designed for people who already have prior rock climbing experience, and wish to push themselves on more challenging options. Those options include multi-pitch climbing, trad climbing and alpine climbing. When climbing on more difficult rock walls, the risk of accident increases. Hence the need to know what to do in case such an accident occurs.

During this course, which will be intensive, we will cover a lot of different things. Some examples include how to escape a belay, rescue lowering, rappelling with a casualty, rope ascending, hauling, and much more.

I am confident that when this course is over, you will learn skills that could potentially save your life, or the life of a friend, during any future climbs.

So if you want to learn proper rock climbing rescue techniques, just send me a request. I would be happy to teach you some valuable skills in beautiful British Columbia.

About the guide

Hannah

Rock Guide

I am an ACMG Rock Guide, I started guiding because I am very passionate about teaching people the technical side of climbing as well as the emotional achievements that come with challenging yourself and connecting with nature.

I have been climbing since I was a kid with my teddy bear clipped to my harness, and since then I have dedicated years to travelling, rock climbing, mountaineering, and improving my technical skills.

I have climbed El Capitan in Yosemite Valley 4 times, sent 5.12 in 5 different countries, and love combining the techniques from rock types around the world. I am also an Industrial Rope Access Technician and enjoy geeking out on the physics of rope systems.

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.
