What is a multi pitch route climbing?
Multi pitch routes are climbing itineraries whose length requires to stop at "anchors" that the rope partner(s) join(s) before continuing the ascent of the route.
For beginners or more experienced climbers, this climbing day is the opportunity to guide you on some of the most beautiful routes in France. In the Calanques of Sormiou, Morgiou, En-Vau, at the Rocher des Goudes, Candelle, Castelvieil, Cap Canaille, etc., from 100 to more than 300 meters high, the multi pitch routes are an opportunity to surpass yourself and to discover unique atmospheres with a view on the sea, while progressing in the climbing techniques.
It is possible to schedule this activity during the climbing season, from mid-September to mid-June.
