Some of the skills you learn

A beginners climbing course is one the most interesting courses i teach from an educational point of view as it is very important regarding both safety and technique body movement. This is why the body and muscles the learn from practicing and learning new habits and skills. I give a lot of importance on the repetition of specific exercises to work and monitor step by step good technique and develop progressively skills as footwork and body awareness.

 

Safety also is the number one regarding climbing. I teach the essentials in a very safe environment and build progressively confidence regarding rope work and safety skills.
