What you'll do

In this two-day course you will learn the basic self-rescue techniques that can save you from many emergencies during climbing sport or multi-pitch routes.

Many climbers are unaware of these techniques, essential when tackling a multi-pitch route and that can save us in many situations and avoid a rescue organized by external services.

Some of the maneuvers we will see are: fixing a rope (with two figure eights and a double figure eight), rope joining knots, doubtful anchor lowering, reviewing knots (cow hitch, clove hitch, dynamic, escaped dynamic, anti-return dynamic), belaying with an anti-return dynamic and unblocking by weighting to lower the partner, ascending on a taut rope, passing knots upwards and downwards, load transfer, setting up 3:1 systems, weighting to assist the partner and lowering a partner from a route with a guide mode reverso.

What an amazing experience for my partner and I. I've climbed my entire life then about 10 years ago, life decided another path for me. I have always missed the feeling of being on the rock and after 10 years of being away, my partner set this week long adventure up. And what a time Pablo showed us ... a variety of climbing, a multi-pitch day and a spark to that fire that burned so bright years ago. Thank you so much Pablo for being the perfect guide in the areas around Valencia! You are incredibly knowledgeable and offer an experience that is 2nd to none. It was magical and looking forward to more days out there. Thank you!

We loved this experience so much! I bought a session for me and my 8 year old son. Javi, our guide, was kind, warm, experienced and made both of us feel confident enough to climb.
We will be booking a follow up session!

I had a great time and learned a lot in the introductory course, with Javi's Apollo it was a 10/10 experience, I was left wanting to continue learning and practicing climbing
