Sandstone Climbing: 2020-10-03 - 2020-10-10

Sandstone climbing

03.10.2020 - 10.10.2020

One of the best and totally unique types of rock for climbing in the world (not that we’re biased). 

If you’re familiar with British gritstone then Czech sandstone will be surprisingly similar. If you’ve got no idea what we’re talking about then all you need to know is that the Czech sandstone of the Elbe Mountains is one of the best rock types for climbing.

 

This is your chance to experience some of the most unique and exciting Czech climbing, accompanied by some of the finest guides you could ever wish to meet (even if we do say so ourselves). It’s perfect for climbers who’ve got a fair bit of experience under their belt looking for new challanges and bit more exotic climbing styles, but open to anyone who can belay safely and tie on without assistance.

 

Throughout your stay you’ll be guided by a local climber and route developer who’ll use their local knowledge to take you deep into the Elbe sandstone. These ancient rocks straddle the border between German Saxony and Czech Bohemia and are, not surprisingly, a national park. The River Elbe has carved a narrow gorge through the soft sandstone, creating some stunning cracks and crevices that will get serious climbers pretty aroused.

 

Our top coaches will be with you every step of the way helping you to master the following:

 

  • What equipment you need and how to choose it so you have the best climbing experience while staying safe
  • Technical climbing skills like how to belay, set up top-rope and lead climb (depending on your level)
  • Climbing calls and communication so that you can get your message across to climbing buddies
  • Movement skills to help you climb more efficiently
  • Basic understanding of outdoor risks so you can make it home safely every day
  • Cleaning the anchors so you can retrieve all your gear
  • Leading sport climbs technique
  • Work on balance so that you climb in a more efficient way
  • Time on slab and vertical ground to improve footwork for better climbing
  • Overhang work to build strength and confidence so you can take on tougher climbing challenges
  • Red point and on-sight attempts so you can tackle new climbs more easily
  • Personalized coaching to break through mental barriers

 

This course is a great way into climbing culture. It’s intense for sure, but this means you’ll develop your skills quickly and progress way faster than you thought possible. Join the Rockbusters beginner climbing courseNovice and you’ll quickly reach new heights and be ready to take on epic routes you could only dream of.
