Yes, we have private departures available on this trip! Private departures can be reserved with five or more people. Additional costs may apply and dates are subject to availability. Please contact our Adventures Team to explore pricing and check on availability.
-
Are there any other dates available?
-
Yes. The following two dates are available on the Klemen course. These take place in Frankenjura, Germany. Frankenjura has almost 8,000 bolted climbs spread across a thousand small crags in and around the area. The walls are hidden in picturesque and peaceful forests which provide respite from the summer sun. Should you get too hot, there are plenty of little streams where you can take a dip and cool off. Frankenjura offers climbs of all grades, from very easy to extremely hard. The typical Frankenjura climb is full of one or two-finger pockets, combined with small huecos and crimps. It takes a lot of finger strength and good power endurance. If you prefer crimps and ledges, sectors such as Student will cater to your tastes. If interested, please contact our Adventures Team for more information.
