Climbing in the Ossau valley in the Atlantic Pyrenees (64)
Climbing initiation in Arudy :
The vertical world within everyone's reach! On the cliffs of Arudy there are routes from 8 to 30 metres, for all levels.
The introduction to climbing on a school cliff allows you to gradually learn about verticality and height.
You will learn the gestures, the balance and the rope techniques to secure yourself and learn to climb with your family or friends.
The activity lasts 2 to 2.5 hours at the foot of the cliff and a little over 3 hours in total.

Levels / Difficulties
We have several cliffs with difficulties adapted to all ages: in the Ossau valley, the Arudy sector has 4 different sites, so this is where we practice most often.
In rock school, the routes will be of one length, in the same sector. The start of each route is always from the ground with a belayer also on the ground. The descent to the ground is done by your belayer (the moulinette). We do not move in roped formation (unlike mountaineering). In a climbing school, you will be alternately climber and belayer, and you will be able to try out increasingly difficult routes. There is never any failure since you can come down at any time and choose a route that matches your abilities.
