From the climbing gym to real rock
On this course you’ll learn what matters when climbing on rock: hazards at the crag, correct conduct, belay position, belay stations, rope commands and more. Special rope techniques and knots – such as threading the rope at the anchor – are also important skills on rock.
As a prerequisite, you need to have completed the lead climbing course and already have good indoor climbing experience. If you need any equipment, you’re welcome to borrow it from us.

Course location & meeting point
The course takes place at the Plombergstein in St. Gilgen. The meeting point is the car park of Gasthof Mühlradl. If you’re from the Ried area, you can ride along with us.
What’s next?
After the rock course you’re ready for the multi-pitch preparation course – the next step towards big walls. You’ll find all courses in the climbing course overview.
Included
- State-certified climbing instructor
