Aid climbing course in the Pyrenees

Learn to progress using aiders on a two-day aid climbing course with PirineoSur. This course is for climbers who want to use equipment to move through sections where natural holds are insufficient.

Practise selecting, placing and removing nuts, cams and other protection, and assessing placements. Exercises cover balance, weight transfer and movement on aiders, including overhanging sections. Rope management and solutions to common progression problems complete the training.

The course runs from May to October for 2 to 4 participants, at an intermediate level. Read the prerequisites and detailed programme, then contact PirineoSur in Jaca to arrange your dates and equipment.
