Workshop: Artif climbing – Sunday 27

Take your climbing beyond the natural holds and discover the art of aid climbing!

Aid climbing is an essential skill for big walls, new route development and exploration, but it’s also a great way to expand your technical knowledge and approach the vertical world from a completely different perspective.

This hands-on workshop will introduce you to the fundamentals of moving efficiently on artificial protection. You’ll learn how to climb using aiders and a fifi hook, including how to build a simple aider, and how to correctly place and use different types of protection such as pitons, cliffhangers, Peckers, copperheads, nuts, BallNuts and Friends.

You’ll also practice ascending fixed ropes with ascenders/Jumars, managing and hauling equipment, and organizing safe and efficient anchors on small ledges or vertical walls.
