Ardeche Climbing Weekend Level 1

A weekend of climbing on limestone routes

The Ardeche is a very popular venue for 'sport' climbing & a style that uses fixed protection (bolts) in the rock face to increase the safety margin for climbers and allow them to really push themselves.

Most of the local climbing is done on limestone and routes range from boulder problems and easy ascents to tricky, exposed multi-pitch routes.

This course is designed for novices and indoor climbers wishing to learn more and to develop their skills outside. 2 days of instruction is provided.
