A totally unusual experience to try at least once in your life!

5/5
Activité originale et idéale pour des ados novices (>15ans) car assez intense et de jolies sensations au bout. Entre la technique de marche sur les rochers glissants, la notion de sécurité avec la partie en rappel, les sauts, les glissades … un bon combi 👍 Je recommande tout de même des gants légers car entre les cordes, les glissades, des gants ne sont pas de trop ( risque d’ampoule)
