Gorges du Tarn is one of the most iconic French sport climbing venues. It is beautifully set and is home to more than 400 classic routes of great quality. The rock is often overhanging limestone full of pockets and crimps. Climbing here usually requires more stamina than power, but there are sectors (Gullich) that offer short and bouldery climbs as well. The local specialty is incredible pumpy stamina climbs such as those in the popular Tennessee sector.
This trip is an ideal choice for climbers looking to refresh their sport climbing safety skills, master the leading technique, and improve their overall rock climbing performance.
All necessary skills and knowledge to be able to do single pitch sport climbs and to attack routes on or beyond your limit such as:
For the Rockbusters team climbing is not just a sport, it’s what we eat, drink, breathe, and sleep - it’s what we live for. Our Sport Climbing Courses and Climbing Road Trips give you the opportunity to get a taste of what we mean and become part of our climbing crew.
The main focus of our Sport Climbing Courses and Road Trips is to provide great quality climbing, so it’s aimed at climbers with some experience. We are not pushing fit and motivated beginners away though. Rockbusters guides and coaches will provide all necessary coaching and go through all safety and technical details so everyone is able to do as much climbing as possible and enjoy climbing with each other. We make sure to push you enough so you achieve more during your stay, arming you with all the necessary techniques and safety measures before you try anything new.
During the time you will spend with us, we will turn you into a confident leader of any sport climbing route and make you a better climber overall no matter your current grade or level. Our professional guides and coaches will show you all the sport climbing tricks you may use to stay safe and to be happy trying routes beyond your comfort zone.
As well as building confidence, and strength and taking on some tough climbs, this is a Rockbusters course, so you can also expect a hefty dose of fun! We love what we do and that really comes across in all of our trips and programs. And… we like to party almost as much as we like to climb, so get ready to have a blast on and off the rock. The informal, fun atmosphere of our courses is famous, but we never let this distract us from your climbing progression.
