This 3-day rock climbing course is designed to teach you all the necessary techniques and safety guidelines to climb a sports route in one of the world’s most scenic climbing destinations at Railay Beach in Krabi. Learn self rescue and rope techniques including rappelling, lead climbing and multi pitch climbing with a certified instructor in a small group.
This course is designed to teach the techniques and theory that will enable you to climb safely and professionally a sports route at Railay Beach and anywhere in the world. It lasts 4 days (with 1 rest day) and includes self rescue and rope techniques, rappelling/abseiling (lowering off from an anchor to the ground), lead climbing (the person who sets up the rope) and multi-pitch climbing (to climb to a great height using all fixed protection and anchors). After the course you will get a certificate of achievement, a free copy of the course booklet and a T-shirt.
If you stay in a hotel on the mainland, we offer a convenient pickup service in the early morning by local lorry including a longtail boat ride from Ao Nam Mao Pier to Railay Beach, and back in the evening. For hotels at remote locations, such as Klong Muang and Tubkaek Beach, we charge a small extra fee.
This course starts every day at 9am in the morning and finishes at 5pm with a one hour lunch break. It includes water and all the required climbing gear. The only thing you need to bring is your camera!
There will be not more than 4 students per guide to ensure high teaching standards and safety. All of our instructors are trained in first aid and emergency and we provide insurance for the duration of our courses.
