PROGRAM
Do you already know the basics of climbing and wish to improve by dabbling with multi-pitch climbs while in the field?
Our SAFETY ACADEMY CLIMBING ADVANCED program is what you need!
You will learn all the belaying techniques and you will gain all the necessary skills to face your firsts multi-pitch climbs.
On this 2-day course we will teach you the basics to abseil and to set your belays, as well as the rope commands and a variety of other knowledge that will help you to become autonomous in multi-pitch sports routes.
This course, after a short refresher on progression techniques, will focus on learning the technical knowledge necessary to face multi-pitch climbs.

1. Climbing basic techniques
– management of your body in the space
– correct use of the feet
– progression typologies
2.Safety chain

The multitude and variety of climbing walls availables allows us to match the setting to the technical topics treated in the course.
The day will take place in a chosen location between Aosta Valley/Piedmont/Liguria.
We do offer different cliffs in different regions in order to find the best multi-pitch routes.
The choice of the location will depend on the period and the chosen date.
