CLIMBING SELF-RESCUE WORKSHOP
TOOLS FOR SAFE CLIMBING IN THE WILDERNESS
Would you like to know how to solve situations that can happen while climbing?
This workshop is designed and planned so that you can incorporate essential knowledge for climbing in nature, whether it be sport rock, traditional or ice with autonomy and safety.
The objective is that each participant can face common problems, incorporating technical maneuvers and tools with basic minimum resources that we should always have in our harness.
In this workshop we will spend 2 days and 1 night working in a sport rock climbing sector.
You will practice multiple technical safetymaneuvers applied to the resolution of problems in the vertical.
All this with the help of a team of professional and experienced guides/climbers who will provide you with the necessary assistance and safety at all times.
