During your big wall climbing experience, our goal is to offer you an enriching, safe, and personalized adventure that matches your level. Here’s what a typical day looks like:

  1. Welcome and Equipment Introduction
    We meet you at an iconic site like Baou de Saint-Jeannet, the Gorges du Loup, or the Esterel Mountains. Upon arrival, we introduce you to the necessary climbing gear.

  2. Safety Introduction
    Before hitting the rock face, we take the time to go over safety fundamentals: knot checks, belaying techniques specific to big wall climbing, and guidelines for working in pairs with confidence.

  3. Discovery of the First Pitches
    We start with easier pitches to help you get acquainted with the rock face and the techniques used in big wall climbing.

  4. Progression and Pushing Your Limits
    As you climb through the pitches, you’ll gain confidence and improve your technique. We adjust the route and pace according to your abilities, ensuring you face challenges that match your goals.

    Once you reach the summit, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views and the satisfaction of having conquered the wall. During the descent (rappel or hiking), we reflect on your sensations, highlight your strengths, and provide guidance on areas for improvement for future climbing adventures.

Une superbe expérience en famille ! Nous étions quatre à avoir participé à cette sortie canyoning et nous avons tous adoré. Nous nous sommes sentis en totale sécurité tout au long de l’activité grâce à une équipe de professionnels, très à l’écoute, sympathique et rassurante. Les paysages étaient absolument magnifiques et l’expérience était à la fois ludique, sportive et dépaysante. Un très beau moment partagé en famille, avec de beaux souvenirs à la clé ! Je recommande vivement cette activité, aussi bien pour la qualité de l’encadrement que pour la beauté des paysages. Une expérience à refaire sans hésiter ! 😊 Merciii LESGECKOS

Absolutely wonderful few hours - expertly guided and organised by Les Geckos! We’ve been coming on holiday to the Côte d’Azur for 30 years and have never done this and I can say this is now the highlight of my summer! Stunning scenery, lots of adrenaline for the teenagers and more attention and help for the slightly less adventurous in our group! Highly recommend this experience.
