What Makes Climbing Courses with Climbing Academy Vienna Different?
How Are Safety and Learning Progress Assessed?
Everyone learns at a different pace and brings different previous experience. For this reason, completing a climbing course does not lead to a blanket approval to belay independently. Christoph assesses your current progress personally and explains transparently whether independent practice already makes sense or whether another course or refresher session is recommended.
Who Leads the Climbing Courses?
Every course is personally led by Christoph Steiner, a state-certified instructor for sport climbing, trainer of climbing instructors and youth coach for a competition team. More than 15 years of climbing experience and the ongoing coaching of approximately 80-100 climbers each week contribute to professionally grounded, methodically clear and personal course design.
