Description

Have you always wanted to try bouldering? Would you like to climb without ropes and harnesses? Then join me on this 6-day bouldering course in Lesachtal and learn all you need to know about this exciting activity!

Bouldering reduces climbing to the minimum. Climbing shoes, magnesium and a boulder mat are enough to start climbing small and larger boulders. The challenge lies in the sum of single moves and not in the height to be overcomed.

We will stay at the Hepi Lodge. From there, we will drive to the Obergailer Valley to learn and practice bouldering techniques. You can check the day by day itinerary below this text.

We will start the first moves without much effort. I will teach you various climbing techniques. Also, I think moderate bouldering is an ideal way to inspire children for climbing. They can enjoy the experience without long explanations on rope and safety technology.

This course takes place from Thursdays to Sundays. The content will be the following:

Bouldering techniques
Boulder creation
Spotting
Tips and tricks when bouldering

So, if you are interested on this bouldering course, contact me! I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the program. You can also check my via ferrata day tour in Millnatzen. It's also great fun!

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.
