Cliff climbing on Roc du Gorb (Aveyron)

Description

I would like to introduce you to rock climbing on the Roc du Gorb cliff at Bor-et-Bar in Aveyron.

This outing is an opportunity to experience the pleasure our bodies (and minds!) get from climbing, and also to test our vertigo ;-).
This activity is ideal for families and groups of friends, as the easy routes are interspersed with more challenging and higher ones. These sessions are also suitable for indoor climbers (route levels range from 3 to 6b) and individuals wishing to join a group.

Young children and beginners impressed by heights can, after the preparatory workshops, climb 2 or 3 meters and decide to come back down, then retry a climb a little higher, at their own pace and always with the pleasure of discovery. More experienced climbers can choose more difficult routes and/or benefit from advanced training.

The Roc du Gorb cliff faces the sun and is therefore very pleasant in mid-season or at the end of the day in summer. It is untouched by the urban environment and is ideal to end with a short swim (shallow), a quiet hike or a picnic. The climbing routes are on beautiful schist rock, up to 45 meters high!

Half-day climbing lasts about 3 hours (+/- depending on the number of participants).
Minimum age for participation is 4/5 years.

Equipment to bring: light sneackers with good footing, loose-fitting clothes suited to the weather. You can also bring a small backpack with water. All equipment specific to the activity is provided.
The equipment and techniques used comply with current standards and enable safe practice. I also provide climbing shoes.

If you like, you can round off your day with a visit to the fun Roc de Gorb via ferrata. And for other vertical adventures, I also offer an introduction to rock climbing around Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val or, in the same area, the Roc d'Anglars via ferrata.
