Description of the climbing program
Each climbing program starts with welcoming participants, introductions with the team of wall operators, receipt and control of participation statements.
Participants are then encouraged to conduct a basic set of warm-up exercises demonstrated by a member of the wall operators’ team.
Thereafter, those who are going to climb at the “top rope” wall move to that area, put on their gear and climb two at a time along the routes selected for them, secured by wall operators.
Those who are going to climb at the “boulder” wall move to that area, put on their gear, and climb one at a time along the routes chosen for them, secured (with the “spotting” method) by the wall operators.
Before climbing, participants are vetted to determine their climbing level, their climbing route is selected, and they are informed about the safe use of the wall and its equipment, about emergency procedures, and about climbing skills (basic principles of climbing moves).
If climbers are beginners, before climbing on the “top rope” wall, at 2 m above ground, a testlowering is performed to avoid a possible refusal to be lowered once they are higher. At the “boulder” wall, a test fall is performed onto the mattresses from a height of 0 and 0.5 m so as to avoid injury when falling from higher up.
After the end of the program, participants are encouraged to conduct a basic set of cool-down exercises, which is demonstrated by a member of the wall operators’ team; thereafter, participants hand back their gear and say their goodbyes with the wall operators’ team.
