Children rock climbing and learning basic techniques on the rocky walls
During the activity, the instructor coaches and guides youngsters and their parents. The guide first demonstrates to parents the technique of belaying with a rope, so that children can climb with the help of their parents and therefore spend some quality time together.

The guide also teaches youngsters how to climb safely. Before starting the activity of rock climbing for kids, the guide explains in detail how to correctly use the equipment and which climbing techniques to practice on a wall that is fully equipped with safety snap hooks.
Children rock climbing also includes training on how to recognize the natural features of the wall and how to use cracks, shelves, and natural gripes. In doing so, the youngsters also learn how to descend and climb down the wall safely. Rock climbing for kids is a great opportunity for parents and their children to learn the basic techniques so that they can climb more independently in the future.

Rock climbing for kids at an easy difficulty level
Rock climbing for kids takes place on a natural wall, that is, according to routes and difficulty levels, adjusted for beginners and little ones. The guide adapts the difficulty level based on past experiences and children’s knowledge of climbing. In doing so, youngsters can climb and try their skills on various routes in the wall, which are rated from 3 to 5 on the French scale.
Thus, they can also progress from one difficulty level to another. The whole rock climbing for kids route on the wall is adapted for children, since the shelves are slightly larger so that the child can step on them, and the wall is not totally vertical so that the child does not hang in the air.
