Wij organiseren meedere klimweekenden naar België, maar er zijn ook heel veel andere plekken om te gaan klimmen! Hieronder vertellen we het een en ander over de klimgebieden waar de RSAC vaker te vinden is. Wil je meer weten over verschillende klimgebieden? De TSAC heeft een mooi overzicht die je here .
Freyr
De ‘Rochers de Freyr’ is het grootste en belangrijkste klimmassief van België. Het telt ruim 600 routes in alle stijlen en moeilijkheidsgraden. De populariteit van het massief heeft er wel voor gezorgd dat routes in de lagere niveaus zeer sterk zijn afgeklommenen en dus glad zijn geworden.
De rotsen hebben een hoogte tot ± 120m. Er zijn 681 routes/touwlengtes/variaties. De routes zijn zeer verspreid over alle moeilijkheidsgraden. Echter, onder 6a beginnen vele routes glad te worden.
Beez
After Freyr, the Beez massif is the largest climbing massif in Belgium. If we don't look at the number of routes, then this is actually the largest rock massif! The rocks stretch for several kilometres along the left bank of the Meuse, just downstream of Namur. The rock structure is erratic and generally offers bigger handles than we find in Freyr for instance.
De rotsen hebben een hoogte tot ± 80m en 494 routes/touwlengtes/variaties. De meeste routes bevinden zich in 5e en 6e graad. Slechts een 30-tal routes biedt een grotere uitdaging.
Dave
Naast een groot aantal klassieke routes, is een boulderparcours met blauwe verf aangeduid dat de hele breedte van het massief beslaat.
The rocks have a height up to ± 60m. There are 192 routes/rope lengths/variations. Almost all routes are up to the 6th degree.
Fontainebleau
Bleau (or in full 'Fontainebleau') is a town just south of Paris. The area around it is a very famous boulder area, a walhalla for all climbers! You hardly need any material: in principle, a pair of shoes is enough. However, it is nice to have puff, toothbrush/washing-up brush, towel and crash pad (special fall mat) with you. Because little special material is needed, bouldering is ideal for the starting climber! Moreover, there are boulders for all levels: from child/beginner (white or yellow) to very advanced (black). Many times there are "circuits" to follow: a series of boulders of the same level on a route. Arrows, numbers and dots point the way from block to block.
Hotton
Hotton is a small, but very beautiful area. There's enough for a weekend. The rocks are situated along the river Ourthe. On warm sunny days you can find cooling in the water. You'll mainly find some rope lengths. Ranging from chimneys to a number of slabs.
The rocks have a height up to ± 40m. There are 84 routes/rope lengths/variations. Mainly in the 4th, 5th and 6th degree.
Les Awirs
The Les Awirs massif underwent a major revaluation in 2002 and 2003, making it one of the most important climbing massifs in Belgium.
On the south side you can climb routes of up to 3 rope lengths on a 70 meter high plate or on the other side via cracks, corners and terraces.
The naturally formed north wall is continuously overhanging and offers modern athletic routes that are not always easy to read due to the structure of the rock.
The rocks have a height of up to ± 70m. There are 107 routes/rope lengths/variations. Plate routes up to 7a, in the overhanging north wall you will find routes up to 7c.
Pont-à-Lesse
The first signs of climbing activities date back to 1930. Yvoir is now one of the largest climbing massifs in Belgium.
The rocks have a height of up to ± 55m. There are 146 routes/rope lengths/variations. There are many routes in the 4th grade. Up to the 6th grade there is a wide choice.
