Fontainebleau Coaching Workshops

3 day coaching workshops in the beautiful forests of Fontainebleau, introducing and developing the techniques and skills to kick start your bouldering and climbing adventures. Helping you move efficiently on rock in a fun and friendly environment.

 

Who’s it for?

Our workshops are split into two groups, a family focused workshop aimed at introducing you and/or your children to bouldering, a minimum age of 8 is recommended, experience can be minimal to those climbing for a few years.

The second workshop is for Intermediate and Beginner climbers, these can include those who have only just started in the sport up to those climbing for a few years and wanting to progress and refine their climbing techniques. No minimum grade is required as Fontainebleau can cater for all levels.

 

What it involves

Each day will take you to a new location in the forest, starting with basic slab and toping out (mantling) skills then through the 3 day workshop introducing you to vertical climbing techniques and finally steep wall / overhanging techniques. Bouldering Safety will be covered as well as warming up techniques, route reading and climbing ethics and etiquette.
