Description

I propose you a half day of introduction to multi pitch climbing in the Eastern Pyrenees department, in order for you to discover the climbing of routes of several pitches. A beautiful vertical experience awaits you!

This initiation to multi pitch climbing takes place in small groups (1 or 2 people maximum) for a personalized follow-up during the ascent.

I have selected for you some magnificent multi pitch routes located on cliffs around Perpignan, perfect for discovery and initiation:

  • Vingrau: close to Tautavel, Vingrau offers a beautiful and immense limestone cliff of more than two kilometers long and rising above a magnificent landscape of vineyards. The climbing is often on slabs or walls, along hundreds of routes of all levels and up to 120 meters high.
  • Casteil: at the foot of the Canigou (the emblematic mountain of the Catalan region, located an hour's drive east of Perpignan), this site offers a pleasant climbing experience in a bucolic setting on the river bank. About thirty routes (from 4 to 6, up to 60 meters high) are bolted on an excellent granite, sheltered from the Tramontane. You can practice crack climbing here.
  • Sorède: only 10 minutes from the sea and Argelès-sur-Mer and half an hour from Perpignan, the Saint-Michel and Ultrera rocks in Sorède are however at 500 meters of altitude. On the granite, dozens of routes from 4 to 7, up to 70 meters high and vertical or on slabs await you.

You like multi pitch route climbing and you would like to go further in your practice? Do not miss this course in the Eastern Pyrenees to go towards autonomy in multi pitch route climbing.

I also offer several outings and courses that will help you progress: climbing outings for adults in the Catalan country, course around Perpignan to become autonomous in climbing and course in the Eastern Pyrenees to better manage your fear of falling when climbing.
