This school is a great option to gain basic knowledge of rock climbing technique in a short time. This knowledge and these skills are directly related to the actions of mountaineering groups on various rock routes (climbing routes, multi-pitches, alpine rock routes). How to behave competently and safely on the terrain, at stations, how to organize a safe ascent and descent, as well as a lot of other useful and necessary information.
The venue is the cliffs in the Korostyshiv area (Zhytomyr region). It's a picturesque place with simple logistics and beautiful granite cliffs. Classes are held in a format of up to 5 participants per 1 instructor, group - 2 instructors and 10 participants.
The program will be useful both for beginners who want to gain initial-level knowledge for rock climbing, and for more experienced people who want to improve and systematize their knowledge, gain new experience, and the ability to independently carry out simple climbs and/or independently organize safety on a climbing trip.
Important! The program has open dates and is designed for weekends. Leave requests with your convenient date options in May-June so that managers can form groups and offer a suitable option. The school can be run either on the basic package or "All inclusive" (accommodation, meals, transfer, etc. - more details in the "What's included" section). It is also possible to organize the program on any dates convenient for you and/or specifically for your group of friends.
