Full description
You know the first thing you learn when climbing? That the real obstacle is not the wall... but taking the first step.
And you can take that step here, among the crags of the Lombardy Pre-Alps, just a few kilometres from Milan. A day designed for those starting from scratch: qualified instructors, equipment included, and all the excitement of your first rock climbs.
At the end you will realise that the real achievement was not reaching the top, but having found the courage to start.
What we will do
We will meet in the morning at the car park of the chosen crag, where we will get to know each other and receive initial instructions from the instructors. After a short approach walk (10-30 minutes on foot) we will reach the crag in the Lombardy Pre-Alps.
Before we start, the instructors will provide you with all thenecessary equipment- harness, helmet and rope - and give a practical explanation on the use of the equipment, basic progression techniques and the main safety rules.
The chosen crags are low walls of limestone rock, with well-marked holds and simple routes, ideal for beginners. Each climb lasts on average 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the route and the pace of each participant, and you will have the opportunity to try more than one during the day.
The morning will be dedicated to taking your first steps on the rock: we will try climbing as second climbers, i.e. you will climb while being belayed from above, with the rope already secured. Those who feel up to it will also be able to test themselves as a first-rope climber, i.e. climb while belaying the rope along the route. All under the supervision of the instructors.
We will do 2-3 climbs each, alternating with breaks to catch our breath, eat something light brought from home and chat with the group.
The duration of the activity will be about 5 hours, but may vary depending on the wall chosen and the number of participants.
Who it is aimed at
The activity is suitable for everyone aged 6 years and over and is ideal for a first approach to the discipline. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult.
The experience is not allowed for pregnant women, people with walking difficulties or people with heart conditions.
Other information
The activity can take place from February to November and is confirmed with a minimum of 4 participants.
Important: the destination varies depending on the weather of the day and the level of the participants. The outings take place in particular between Lecco and Bergamo, where some of the most suitable crags for beginners can be found. All locations are easily reached by car from Milan and Brianza.
