Description

Rock climbing on natural sites is a spectacular experience. From the views to the thrill of scaling a wall that has stood for thousands of years it is definitely something worth doing if you ever have the chance. And on this full-day trip, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, you will get to climb on several different cliffs in Wallonia, Belgium.

The spots we will be focusing on during this day-long trip are Pont-a-Lesse, Grand Malades and Goyet. Each one of these spots will definitely impress and satisfy you. They are all unique and beautiful in their own special way.

This is a beginner level course. We will be focusing on climbing fundamentals that are crucial for safe and successful climbing. Some of what we will cover include safety techniques, sign language, abseiling, food placement, grip, balance and much more. And because this trip is meant for beginners, the only experience you require is some prior indoor wall climbing. Finally, the minimum age for this trip is only 10 years. Thus making it ideal for families to enjoy.

While rock climbing may not be the first thing you think about when thinking about Belgium, there are nonetheless several great spots, particularly in Wallonia. If you are new to natural rock climbing and would like to enjoy those spots, while learning several important climbing skills, just send me a request.

There is also a half-day version of this trip that will take you to different spots in Wallonia.
