focus: basics
This is our ‘beginner course’ in climbing – here you’ll be taught all the skills you need to climb independently on real rock. The course is aimed at beginners and no prior experience is required. We’ll teach you the necessary belaying technique, climbing technique, rules of conduct and tips & tricks, as well as equipment knowledge, how to handle potential fear of heights or fear of falling, and we’ll also do a shared fall training in a safe environment.
What to expect?
We head out with 3–6 beginners for 2 days of approximately 8 hours each at the crag. Here you’ll get a brief introduction to sport climbing: how it basically works, an overview of the equipment and the knots we need. Then we try it all out: the ropes are already threaded through anchors at the top of the route, meaning you’re always protected from above and can sit into the rope and rest at any time. We start on very easy to easy routes, then gradually and without overwhelm work our way up to lead climbing. As with all our courses, you’ll of course also receive plenty of climbing technique coaching, plus tips & tricks to help you avoid the most common mistakes right from the start. Your climbing career gets set on a solid foundation here, so you can hit the ground running straight away.
What do I need?
Virtually none… just curiosity! You should be in good physical health and be able to manage a short approach to the crag on hiking trails of 5–30 minutes. You can bring your own gear or use our rental equipment, which is included in the course fee. Rental gear is provided by us directly on site; climbing shoes are available on request only.
Further Info:
Depending on the season, courses take place at various crags in the hills around Graz. Every location is easily accessible by public transport or car. Carpooling for up to 4 participants from Graz main station is also available (by arrangement). Like any outdoor course, ‘focus: basics’ is weather- and conditions-dependent. This means that short-notice changes, postponements or cancellations can occur; you will of course be informed by us in such cases. In the event of a cancellation, you will naturally receive a full refund.
