Basic mountaineering training #1
Climbing with top protection and ascending/descending on a support rope
Alpinism refers to more technical mountain routes, but it is still worth practicing before going to the mountains. During the two-day training, we will learn the very first basics of alpinism: belaying and climbing with a top belay, ascending/descending on a support rope, and the necessary equipment and knots. The initial alpinism training is primarily aimed at complete beginners - those interested in climbing a wall with a rope and who have never climbed a wall with a rope and do not know what it means to climb on a support rope.
In addition, we are waiting for those interested in this training who want to start attending TÜASK's mountaineering training in Tartu. The training is conducted by mountaineering training coaches and after completing this training you are already welcome to join the mountaineering training - more on this below.
The training is practical in nature - we will get our hands dirty right away and try everything out. We will also climb the wall and ascend the support rope, but you don't have to be afraid of a sweaty workout at first. However, we will focus on techniques so that you can join the workout in the future. The training will take place indoors.
