A practice area for beginner ice climbers!
NB! Places are full and registration is closed!
Let's get acquainted with ice climbing! Or reacquainted, as anyone would. A good opportunity to find and sharpen your crampons and picks and put them to the test on the ice.
The plan is the ABC of ice climbing, or the simplest type of climbing and belaying with top protection. The main goal is to get used to climbing on an ice slope with crampons. No previous experience is necessary - we will teach, guide and belay on site. Climbing equipment is also not necessary - it can also be rented on site. So both complete beginners in climbing and those who have already climbed here and there before but want to refresh their knowledge of the basics can participate.
Training ground activities:
Climbing an ice wall with top protection with two picks - climb as much as you can
Securing a climbing companion
Rope descent from the edge of a bank
We introduce climbing techniques, climbing equipment and knots used in climbing.
The ice climbing practice area is located on the North Estonian coast, on the Rannamõisa bank, right on the seashore. Less than half an hour's drive from Tallinn. Veins flow down from the bank and form ice waterfalls when they freeze. This is a perfect place for beginner ice climbers to practice climbing on an icy slope.
When looking for treatment options for climbing fungus, we also recommend that you familiarize yourself with: Elamus+ with travel calendar.
