Course objectives

Who should participate?

You who have climbed for a couple of seasons outdoors and indoors, and want to develop further.

Previous knowledge

You must be able to handle all basic techniques such as stand position, rope team work and more. Your personal skill does not have to be very high when it comes to free climbing, but you can easily climb grade 4 routes as a first person.

Our lead course "trad" is a good preparation.

Place

In order for you to get the most out of this course, we prefer to hold the course in the right environment. During the summer we have our base in Chamonix and here you will find lots of nice long tours that are suitable for this course.

We can also give this course at various cliffs around Sweden. See the list of upcoming course dates to find a cliff near you.

The courses in Stockholm are usually given in Häggsta in Huddinge. Here there are routes up to 60m that can be done in 3 rope lengths, which means that we can practice multi pitch near Stockholm in a good way.

For groups, we can also book courses in Gothenburg, Bohuslän or elsewhere.

Collection before course

We gather in a place that can be reached by public transport.

If you want, you can come directly to the rock with your own car. Your instructor will provide more information about the meeting place when you book.

Equipment

You probably have your own equipment and then of course you use it because knowing your own equipment is an important part. However, all equipment needed during the course is included if you are missing something.

Student discount and lower price on weekdays

Most often, the courses are given 2 days after each other, eg Saturday-Sunday. But for those of you who can take the course on weekdays, we give a discount and the courses on weekdays cost SEK 3150 per person.
