Climbing on long routes: all you need to know before you begin

It’s possible to tackle some long climbs where you actually climb for more than half a day – these are known as “grandes voies” in French (literally, big routes). In France (and Switzerland) the routes are categorised according to difficulty:

 

F : facile (easy)
PD : peu difficile (quite easy)
AD : assez difficile (quite difficult)
D : difficile (difficult)
TD : très difficile (very difficult)
ED : extrêmement difficile (extremely difficult)

Not far from the Gard you can enjoy climbing in the Calanques, the Gorges du Verdon, the Gorges de la Jonte and the Caroux, all of which offer amazing opportunities for some classic climbs.
Take advice from the Bureau des Moniteurs du Gard for a better ascent

You will be supplied with personal protective equipment in order to make sure you remain safe at all times during the climb.

 

We also recommend that you bring enough water and food with you in a small backpack; it will need to be practical so that it cannot accidentally get caught on lines, pitons or carabiners (so avoid anything that has fancy decorations, long ties on it, etc.).

Private climbing lessons so you can learn at your own pace

Option to hire an instructor for a half day (€150) or a full day (€260).
It’s not easy climbing for the first time on your own (or with a partner) and having to get used to strange safety equipment. But climbing can evoke such an astonishing fascination in people – it has an almost magnetic attraction – combined with a perfectly rational fear of heights and a scary feeling of emptiness. Entering a situation like this can be unsettling and you might even feel a little embarrassed in facing your fears and learning to trust in yourself – don’t worry, our instructor will encourage you and help you to progress!

They will guide you through your adventure in this aerial playground, teaching you all the necessary safety techniques on a custom-built course and working at a pace to suit you!
