Description

I would like to invite you to this 4-day outdoor rock climbing course in Cojitambo, Ecuador. It is a village and an archaeological site in the Canar province. I think it's a great place for the practice of such an exciting activity!

During these 4 days I will teach you several outdoor rock climbing maneuvers and techniques. That way you'll be able to develop well on the walls, confident and self-sufficient.

Once this course ends you will be ready to rappel, belay and set up your own single-pitch top-rope systems.

This course is ideal for people who already have some experience in climbing rock walls. The aim of this learning trip is that you can improve your current skills to embark on future bigger challenges.

However, if you're a beginner who want to learn the basis of this activity I recommend that you first take this introductory rock climbing course.

During this 4-day course in Cojitambo you will learn:

How to select the proper anchors;
Belay techniques and construction;
Rope handling;
Abseiling techniques.

In addition, you'll be able to experience by your own the excitement of vertical rock climbing. As your instructor, I will give you the maximum amount of climbing activities so you can practice in a real environment. We'll start with easy itineraries and, as you gain confidence, we will increase the difficulty.

So, it's time to improve and refresh your techniques and this outdoor rock climbing course is the perfect opportunity. Please contact me so we can plan and organize your next learning trip in Cojitambo!

As a climber, she has summited peaks in the Andes, Perú, Bolivia, Colombia, climbing around USA, etc. Juliana has achieved a lot in her climbing career so far with the most distinguished of her successes being the opening of a new route (together with Joshua Jarrin) in the Peruvian Andes: HK, on the North face of East Huandoy, with difficulties of TD+ V+ M3/4. This route was included in the 2012 list of climbs chosen by the organization “Piolet d’ Or” (Golden Ice Ax), 2013 edition.

About Fátima:

I've been going to the mountains since I was 11. Constant contact with nature has given me a different perspective on life. When I heard that being a mountain guide was a profession, I immediately wanted this. So I started the training in 2020. Contact me if you wish to discover Ecuador, its mountains, climbing places, and hikes.

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.
