Jardin d'Endieu via corda (Ardèche)

Description

I propose you to join me for an exhilarating half-day on the Jardin d'Endieu via corda in Ardèche.

During this adventure, which combines climbing and vertiginous mountain walking, you will discover some spectacular scenery above the Chassezac river. You will negotiate obstacles clinged to a lifeline and perfectly secured in your harness. The descent will be a thrilling experience as you abseil 40 meters down a spider's thread (no contact with the rock).

I will also give you tips on how to improve your technique and make the most of this exceptional adventure.

After a ten-minute approach walk on a steep path, we reach the 40-meter-high ledge, which we follow to circle the Casteljau peninsula. Above the Chassezac gorges, you will alternate between walking and easy climbing, crossing a small cave, monkey bridges and a zip line before the final abseil.

The trip is open to anyone in good physical condition (no experience required) and with no medical contraindications to climbing. You must be at least 12 years old, over 1m40 tall and weigh less than 120kg.
Please contact me if you have any medical problems.

The schedule is subject to change at the last minute, depending on weather conditions, the number of people registered, etc.

If you fancy a refreshing water experience nearby, I also offer canyoning in the Haute Borne gorges in Ardèche or in the Haut Chassezac gorges in the Cévennes.
