ON-SIGHT & RED-POINT performance coaching with Klemen Bečan

07.11.2020 - 21.11.2020

CLIMB MORE, CLIMB BETTER, CLIMB HARDER! One of the world’s best climbers and unique sport climbing performance workshop. 

In order to help you climb BETTER and HARDER, Rockbusters have joined their forces with one of the world's best climber, Klemen Bečan. This camp is especially tailored for those searching for a big push to speed up their progress towards a better climbing technique, more efficient mind set and a harder grade. There is no better way to do so than in a group of motivated climbers sharing same goals and being helped out by professional coaches and guides led by one of the best climbers in the world. Our team will make sure everybody gets what they need, not only through intensive one-on-one coaching on the crag, but also through recording and analyzing all the participants' climbing performance.

 

We decided to set Klemen's coaching camp in Sella so that everybody (no matter the level) can push their climbing to another level. Sella is the biggest climbing area on Costa Blanca and its crags offer top quality climbs of all the grades (from the 6 th to the 9 th ). For Rockbusters, Sella is like home as they have climbed there for years. There is a big variety of climbs: easy and mid-grade sport routes located at the main crags in the center of the valley as well as harder lines concentrated in steeper sectors such as the famous Wildside. Klemen Becan will be the one to help you master all the necessary technique and to make sure that climbing skills such as proper footwork and balance, dropped knee technique, heel hooks and knee bars will become part of your skillset not only when projecting, but also in the onsight attempts.

 

The refuge/mountain cottage we stay in is located in quite a remote place about 4 km walk away from the small village of Sella. It is surrounded by the rock, which means you can park your car, forget about it and focus just on climbing and the pretty scenery. Rockbusters will also make sure you will get to know the best places in the village to eat and have a drink as in way, it forms a part of a good climbing day. Believe it or not but the little village of Sella has a lot to offer even when you have finished your climbing.

 

You will spend plenty of time on the rock, as well as listen to short, informal talks by Klemen. We will also film your climbing so that you can analyse the footage with Klemen in order to identify weaknesses and help you take your climbing to the next level.

 

The Klemen Bečan Sport Climbing Performance Workshop follows the traditional Rockbusters format of informal masterclasses. Led by Klemen as the head coach, our experienced team will ensure that everyone climbs as much they can and gets all the coaching they need.

 

Our course will offer you the opportunity to maximise your potential and develop your climbing skills at a very high pace. During the trip we will help you push your grade while teaching you how to maintain sustainable, long-term progress beyond our time together.

 

Klemen Becan’s coaching focuses on balance and movement, which will help both your physical and mental development as a climber. Whether you are a complete rookie or an experienced cranker, analyzing your movement patterns and attitude will instantaneously boost your skills and help you break through any plateau.

 

Whatever your level, with plenty of time to practice newly learned techniques, you will increase your confidence and perform better than ever. After just one week of coaching you to head home with a completely new, advanced skillset. The aim of our Sport Climbing Performance Workshop is to allow you to learn from the best and use their well tested techniques to progress your climbing.

 

Here’s a little look at what to expect when you join our Klemen Becan Sport Climbing Performance Workshop:

 

Slab/vertical ground

Focusing on footwork, you will learn to find balance and use the most efficient and effective ways to propel your body up the rock without wasting energy. You will learn how to work with friction, make delicate steps and calculated, technical moves.

 

Overhangs techniques

You’ll develop and practise skills to help you handle climbing steeper rock faces. We will cover footwork and techniques such as drop knees, heel and toe hooks. A lot of time will be dedicated to the fine art of resting while climbing, as well as fighting “the pump”, both mentally and physically.

 

On-sight vs Red-Point strategies

Climbing onsight and projecting more difficult lines differs both physically and mentally. Klemen Bečan will cover the most effective strategies for success while onsighting or working a route over many days. You will have plenty of time to practice these and internalise the new skills.

 

As well as building confidence, 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 programmes. 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.
