Workshop: How to big wall climbing – Saturday 26

A workshop dedicated to discovering life on the rock face!

What does it really take to spend hours, or even days, on a big wall? This workshop will introduce you to the essential techniques and systems needed to move, work and organize yourself efficiently on a vertical wall.

You’ll learn how to ascend fixed ropes with ascenders, perform essential wall maneuvers and manage and haul a haul bag. The workshop will also explore how to organize your equipment and systems to make life on the wall safer and more efficient.

The daily bread of big wall climbing, packed into a practical session with Mountain Guide Matteo Castellini!
