ADVANCED SPORTS CLIMBING CORSE
20 and 22 June  2009

The course will take place on Saturday and Sunday in the area of Arco-Lago di Garda, one of the world’s most famous and beautiful climbing areas. As it is not a beginners’ course, it is aimed at all those who have already climbed a few times, to who is able to top-rope on routes from 4c to 5a. The aim of the course is to make people independent and to allow them to then go and climb at a crag on their own. We will introduce to who is able to, being particularly careful on how to belay who is leading how to place quick-draws and the various ways of passing the rope through the quickdraws as you lead.  For further information about the programme and prices, fill in the appropriate form on this page.
