The instructor will then check if you have done this correctly. Then you will get an explanation about the climbing, the different courses and with which materials you can undertake certain activities. After the explanation you go over our 'practice course' and then towards the starting point of the courses.

The ExpoGlider system is a safety system where the lifeline is hooked up from the very first point you go up. During the course it is attached to the steel cable above the elements. Only at the end of the course can it be disconnected again. As a result, you are continuously secured during the climbing activity and only need to maneuver the ExpoGlider through the turns. There is no disconnection and reconnection during climbing, like the authentic system.
