Last week, we hosted the very first edition of BAD — Boulderen aan de Dommel — together with parKLIMson ! 🧗‍♀️

A total of 125 participants climbed routes across the TU Eindhoven campus. What an incredible day!

A huge thank-you to Rab Benelux and Klimcentrum Neoliet Eindhoven for the prizes! 🙌

Last weekend we went to Mozet! Freshly out of the single pitch course, it was one of the first outdoor climbing weekends for most. 🏕 🧗‍♂️

We ticked off all the essentials for a climbing weekend. There was a lot of climbing (even Wallie did a route), eating cake and even a hammock! The Ibex was a popular route and picture spot this weekend. It was fun to see how everyone had their own creative way to make the move from the pilar to the other wall 📸

A lot of rain was predicted for sunday, but luckilly it stayed dry all morning. Enough time to check off things on the technique cards! Kader even made up a fun game to practice belaying with a tuber. Around 14:00 the rain came and it was time to go home 🌧😪

Thanks for all the kaders and kios for making the weekend possible!

Last weekend ESAC went to Dave for the third time this year already!🌞

Out of 24 subscriptions, only 15 brave climbers drove to Belgium to face the heat. The single pitchers rerouted to the shades of Grand Malades to cool down, while the multipitchers went to Dave for some exams. Because of the heat, the climbing stress was low and swimming at the end of the day was a priority. After dinner and a delicious watermelon we braved a thunderstorm from inside our tents.

On day two, some early birds got up to do some trad multipitching before the heat arrived. The rest drove to Grand Malades for more climbing in the shade. Here hammocks were hung, cake was eaten and (some) routes were climbed! We even did some reallife fruit ninja!! All in all a great relaxing weekend were many exams were taken and much was learned.

Technical slabs, crimpy overhangs and decent weather conditions!🧗

Last Saturday we packed our crashpads and headed out for ESAC’s first bouldering weekend in the Odenwald Valley. More specifically, we chose Felsenmeer, for its unique quartz-diorite boulders and diverse climbing styles.

From getting shut down on 3s to projecting problems in the 7th grade and eventually sending a few 6s, the experience was humbling for many of the group. People discovered that outdoor boulders are rarely as juggy as their indoor counterparts, that falls can be unforgiving depending on the landing and that thus good spotters are essential.

Between the stunning landscape of the valley, the cool forest shade on boulders and countless quality problems, there’s little doubt that ESAC will be returning to Odenwald Valley in the future!

Last week, next to our normal introweekend, the ESAC also organised a hiking trip! Despite the heat, we went to the Mullerthal to hike and enjoy nature.

On Sunday the group hiked most of Route 1, taking a bus to finish the last few km (though some walked it all, finishing around 21:00!). After dinner and jumping into the river to cool off a bit, we went to sleep.

On Monday, we hiked along a shorter section along a forest stream from Beaufort to the Schiessentümpel, after which we took the bus back to get some icecream and get to our cars.
Overall a very nice weekend, with a bunch of pictures (and blisters...) to remember it by!

After a few nail-biting days watching the weather forecast, we were able to go to Vosges du Midi to climb on some beautiful pink sandstone!

On Saturday the climbing started after a long drive, in Kuhfels, nicely shaded by the forest and a roof. Climbing started easy, with nothing bellow 6a, and Daniel managed to send a first for him: a 7b!

After a nice unexpected gluten-free dinner and a good night’s sleep, we were ready to start climbing again at the Kronthal. We climbed under the roof where Aloha (9a) cand be found to avoid a sprinkle of rain. Mihnea and Misha valiantly projected a 7a, which eventually turned out to be a 6c…

Going into the thirdy day, a morning of climbing was planned in Grotte du Brotsch. There were some easier routes around the cave, but Daniel managed to get another first send for him: a 7a+! After cleaning the 7a+ ( ~1 hours), taking in the view and doing some last routes, we left back for Eindhoven.

Last weekend we went to Freyr for some old school climbing and some brie & b**r ! 🧗🏼‍♀️

Packed with ambition we left Eindhoven on Saturday morning with the hope to find some sunny rocks... And we definitely found them! Bright blue skies welcomes us to Freyr, but Freyr didn’t make it easy on us. It’s slippery holds and sometimes brave bolt distances kept most of our ego’s in check. While some multipitchers were praying to the goose god🪿 at the top of Tête du Lion, other brave (or questionable) esac ers went swimming in the (freezing cold) Maas to escape the heat. Back at the bivak, things slowed down by a crackling campfire (which was of course made at the great initiative of Yeti), while everyone was enjoying some delicious Marry me chickpeas.
Sunday morning kicked off with the famous esac eggs and a trail run for some. Some more routes were sent before heading back home, sweaty and exhausted, but with big smiles. ☀️

Fun fact: this weekend, 5 klimco were sighted in their natural habbitat in Freyr, which might be a record in the last couple of years!

We had a lovely time climbing, and we also gained some new singlepitchers and multipitchers who passed their exams! Congrats to you all!

And a big thank you to the kader, kader in education, klimco, drivers and all the garlic cutters who made this weekend possible!

We had a lovely time single pitching in Grandes Malades and Beez this weekend!

On Saturday, we went to Grands Malades, where we had fun practising techniques & trying soapy holds. Luckily in the end only Jean-Luc needed big patience, when he was stuck as kio on the top of the rocks, without a rope, when the rain started pouring down 🌧.

So we went into Namur, saw the cool Citadelle of Namur and for some reason there was a huge golden turtle which was seen by a part of the group, whereas the other part was witnessing medieval fights!
In the evening, the risotto was tasty and the fire big & warm.

Sunday we went (some of us with a detour to a boulangerie to get eclairs, others with a short trail run in the morning) to Beez. We had a nice time climbing and a very succesful weekend too with 10/10 people passing their SP exams! Congrats to all👏🏻

And of course thanks to kader, KIOs, drivers, the klimco (and of course all the onion-and-garlic cutters and dish washers) for making the weekend possible!

Single pitch day in Moha!

Weather didn’t go to plan, so our climbing weekend became a climbing day. Rock conditions didn’t go to plan, so Maizeret became Moha! Nature & the bolting team of Maizeret had other plans, but our group made the most of it.

It was a beautiful day with some cold limestone in the morning, with many of our course participants leading outdoors for the very first time. The day was wrapped up by scouting for a new fries place in Vise 👀

Thanks to our kader and kader in education for making this climbing day possible!

Now, we’re keeping our fingers crossed for better conditions for the second SP weekend after the exams! 🤞
