réserverA BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE TRIP
Pure sport/Block and cliff, everything is there for a progression adapted to your needs and desires.
The UCPA Chamonix is a high mountain mountaineering and climbing school. Our objective is to bring participants to a controlled and responsible practice. Each at their own level, we aim for autonomy.
Our stays are therefore organized around learning techniques and evolutions in “autonomous ropes” where everyone learns to ensure their safety and that of their rope companion, under the guidance and advice of a high-mountain guide or a state climbing certificate.

During your stay
From Day 2 to Day 6, we will develop a global approach to climbing where safety, pleasure and progress will be permanently linked.
We will climb from the first session after having seen or reviewed the basics: adjusting a harness, roping, insure.
Then, depending on your level, we will discuss various topics such as:
- basic techniques: getting ready, “check partner”, setting up a quickdraw, maneuvering a link, folding a rope, ensuring a second, ensuring a leader, parading, rappelling, communication...
- more complex techniques: escape, abseiling, top of the track relay, addition of protections, etc.
- climbing gestures: the basic attitude, the pose of the feet, climbing at the head, the fall, oppositions, crosses, group-ungroup, transfers, etc.
- read a path, identify different holds, vary your pace of progress, breathing, relaxation, effort management, confidence and commitment
- the key factors of progression according to your level
- the ratings, the “rules of the activity”, the classification and equipment of a cliff, the environment (geology of the site, flora and fauna), the reading of a topo, the material
You will climb second and lead, in ropes of 2, in routes adapted to your current level. We will go to different cliffs to vary the styles and make you discover all the riches of the site.
The course of this program is given for information purposes only.
It may undergo modifications or adjustments, depending on technical criteria, safety requirements or the climatic conditions of the moment. In this case, only those responsible for UCPA supervision are authorized to take the necessary decision (s).
It can also be adapted according to the technical and physical level of the participants.

Information note
The purpose of this note is to present to you the form of mountaineering practice that we offer during our various mountaineering or climbing trips in high mountains.
The purpose of this note is to present to you the form of mountaineering practice that we offer during our various mountaineering or climbing trips in high mountains.
UCPA is a mountaineering and high mountain school. Our objective is to bring participants to a controlled and responsible practice of mountaineering, each at their own level, during and after the stay.
For this, our stays are organized around learning the techniques and principles of evolution in the mountains.
This approach involves evolutions in “autonomous” teams where the trainee-participants implement safety techniques, learned beforehand. The rope then evolves without being systematically connected to a guide by a rope. These evolutions into “autonomous” teams are carried out under the guidance of the guide, which determines the modalities of these evolutions according to the level of the trainee-participants and the conditions in the field.
The trainee-participant in a mountaineering or climbing trip in high mountains undertakes to accept the form of instruction offered and certifies having read this information.
