What is rock climbing?

Once the preserve of daredevils ready to scale new heights, rock climbing is now accessible to all.

In a nutshell, it's all about climbing a vertical surface using your hands and feet, with or without support equipment.

Behind this a priori simple objective lies a real technique to be acquired little by little, with a community of enthusiasts!

Where can you climb?

First and foremost, you should know that wherever you go, you'll be accompanied by professional instructors who will introduce you to new climbing techniques.

In the wild

Aiming for a summit and reaching it: that's the challenge that climbers take up in the great outdoors. Walls are carefully selected to ensure their feasibility.

Low-lying rocks can be climbed freely, but if the climb is dangerous, a rope system ensures safety.

It's a matter of cutting a path through the rock, finding stable holds for your hands and feet.

In a climbing gym

Urban climbing gyms are flourishing. This is a real boon for those who don't have the chance or opportunity to climb in the wild. Climbing has become an urban sport in its own right, and one that's proving extremely popular!

These artificial structures are built to meet the needs of all levels. They come in different heights, with belay systems or free climbing.

The climbing holds screwed to the walls are designed to evolve over a varied itinerary. A predefined color code determines the level of difficulty. Of course, there's no risk in case of a fall, as the floor is padded.
