Climbing - Discovery & Initiation

Escalade - Découverte & Initiation

Synopsis

Climbing safely is within everyone's reach. Introduction, progression, training, rope maneuvers, sequence of movements, equipment, and high-level practice—everything you want to know about climbing. Accessing the vertical world means learning to read the rock, combining positioning, balance, and self-control, and having fun. Demonstrations by Jean-Christophe Lafaille (high mountain guide) take place in the dizzying scenery of the Vercors cliffs (Presles and Corrençon-en-Vercors) and the Dentelles de Montmirail. Jean-Pierre Bouvier, known as "Mouche," takes you to the magical boulders of Fontainebleau, while François Legrand (world champion on climbing walls) gives you his advice on how to progress.
