First climb: Intro course

The introductory course is a great way, as a beginner, to learn how to climb and, especially, to stay safe. You’ll receive your accreditation at the end of the 3 hour course, meaning you can go climb any time! During this experience you have the chance to try out the various facilities, including traditional rock climbing as well as boulder rock climbing.

The introductory course will also introduce you to many unused and underestimated muscles in your body! We suggest you go and discover climbing with a friend or loved one, as it’s a very intense sport where communication, mutual aid and complicity are very important.
