Cleanclimbing Pfalz | crack climbing with a mountain guide

• Procedure and course content

  • Day 1 - Meeting point

    10:00 h

    We meet at the railway station.

  • Day 1 - Training and climbing

    In the morning we start with training and climbing. In various lessons, you will acquire new knowledge and practical skills step by step. We start with the basics of crack climbing technique and work our way up until you are able to climb a route freely and cleanly in clean style.

    To get started, we will go to a climbing garden with bolts on the first day, where we can practise placing mobile belay devices in a safe environment. There you have the opportunity to practise placing friends and wedges in peace and quiet - and if you want, you can even take a controlled fall into a friend or wedge with a back belay to gain confidence in your own equipment and technique.

    We then drive together to our cosy accommodation. In the evening, we enjoy a meal together and plan the coming days together.

  • Days 2-4 - Applying and climbing

    In the following days, we will deepen your knowledge step by step and put what you have learnt into practice directly on the rock. Together we will analyse the different types of cracks in and around Cadarese, discuss tactics and techniques and teach you the most important technical terms - so you get to know the „language of crack climbing“ from the ground up.

    You will learn how to move correctly in crack climbing routes and how to use and try out different techniques:

    • Jam technique

    • Fingerlocks

    • Foot clamp

    • Offwidths

    We'll show you how to use crack climbing gloves correctly - or simply make your own from tape. Of course, you can also try out various mobile safety devices such as friends, cams and wedges. We will explain exactly what you need to pay attention to when placing them so that you are safe and confident.

    A big advantage: our experienced mountain guides will be happy to set up your desired route in the toprope - so you can concentrate fully on technique, movement and fun.

    And if you're ready, you might even dare to tackle your first clean route, which is completely secured with mobile belay devices - a real sense of achievement!

    We end the evenings together in a cosy atmosphere - with a delicious meal, talking shop about friends and wedges or even a trip to a typical northern Vosges restaurant.
