With a number of big wall rope solos under my belt I was amazed by two big things: 1)Yann Online course taught me tips I didn\u2019t know and I am eager to put to use. 2) Yann takes the time to go through all the basic things that I had to learn through trial and error. What ever your skill level the course is a value.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yann’s course is the only place on the Internet with this kind and depth of infomation. Yes we can read an article over here or a few words there about rope soloing, but Yann has put it into the relaxed form of videos where you can sit back and let the infomation flow in! Easy days!<\/p>\n

I’ve also watched a bunch of his other youtube vids where he’s testing, comparing and analysing gear and devices. These videos have helped me come to an informed decision on what I should get before getting it myself, saving me the hassle of getting it wrong. Thanks Yann for sharing infomation and knowledge. We can all always learn something 🙂<\/p>\n

\u201cRope solo techniques require much knowledge and experience. Trying out and comparing different gear is expensive and time consuming, but Yann’s sharing of information will go a long way toward eliminating a lot of those hassles.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Yann has not only demonstrated his skills in rope soloing, soloing El Cap several times, he’s also invested a huge amount of time in understanding all aspects of these techniques, making him one of the leading teachers of rope solo climbing<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThanks for the help man – your course has been ace!!! Learning to LRS has been the most liberating feeling I\u2019ve had in climbing since learning to Top Rope Solo\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether top-roping or on the lead, rope soloing is risky business. I started experimenting with top-rope soloing a few years ago and have recently started leading solo. At this moment, there are very few voices out there that I trust without a doubt. Yann Camus is one of those people. Through his rigorous testing in his garage, vetting information from others, and field testing out at the crags, Yann has emerged as one of the most knowledgeable soloists in the climbing community.<\/span><\/p>\n

As an Instructional Designer working constantly with the design and development of college-level, online courses, I can personally vouch for Yann\u2019s thorough, educational, and inspiring content and delivery. The topics are well organized, and I have viewed many of his videos where I have always learned something to help add to my skillset, and I\u2019ve been climbing over 30 years! If you\u2019re wondering, \u201cIs it possible that an online course can help me get a better understanding of rope-soloing?\u201d The answer to your question is an emphatic \u201cYES!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

J’ai rencontr\u00e9 Yann pour suivre son cours de solo encord\u00e9 lead. L’objectif de la formation a \u00e9t\u00e9 de pouvoir pousser l’escalade en solitaire, de fa\u00e7on s\u00e9curitaire et m\u00e9thodique.
La journ\u00e9e que j’ai pass\u00e9 avec lui a non seulement \u00e9t\u00e9 une des plus riches en enseignement de toutes mes ann\u00e9es d’escalade, mais \u00e9galement une superbe journ\u00e9e de grimpe! Mine de connaissance, rigoureux, sympa et enthousiaste, Yann partage sans retenue tous les petits d\u00e9tails qui vont faire de votre exp\u00e9rience grimpe un r\u00e9el plaisir!<\/p>\n

Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s attentif \u00e0 livrer un contenu adapt\u00e9 \u00e0 mes besoins, mes objectifs, et mes capacit\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

Do you want to learn how to become an excellent climber? Do you need to polish your skills? Have you ever wondered what a real climbing instructor should behave and act? Search no more; Yann has you covered. In two hours, I learnt how to rope solo my way up a wall. No more need for a partner. This year I’ll be attempting my first Big Wall and next year, an even Bigger Wall. Are you jealous yet?<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”Nicolas Ouellet” job_title=”Passionn\u00e9 d’Escalade” portrait_url=”https:\/\/blissclimbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_0083.jpg” portrait_width=”200px” portrait_height=”200px” _builder_version=”4.26.0″ body_font=”||||||||” body_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Voil\u00e0 plusieurs ann\u00e9es d\u00e9j\u00e0, une de mes coll\u00e8gues recherchait quelqu\u2019un pour travailler avec son copain un week-end. Loin de moi l\u2019id\u00e9e que cette rencontre fortuite allait un jour s\u2019av\u00e9rer \u00eatre un point marquant dans ma pratique de ce sport. J\u2019ai alors d\u00e9couvert quelqu\u2019un avec non seulement une montagne de connaissances, mais aussi une passion d\u00e9bordante et le d\u00e9sir de la partager.<\/p>\n

C\u2019est avec Yann que j\u2019ai fait mon premier multi-pitch, mes premiers pas en glace, c\u2019est aussi avec lui que j\u2019ai acquis mes premi\u00e8res connaissances du traditionnel. Enfin c\u2019est avec lui que j\u2019ai r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 gravir le Dawn Wall sur le El-Capitan \u00e0 Yosemite, un projet que je n\u2019oublierai jamais.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Qu\u2019est-ce que Yann m\u2019a apport\u00e9\u2026 De la confiance, une quantit\u00e9 de connaissances et il m\u2019aura ouvert les portes de l\u2019autonomie dans diff\u00e9rentes pratiques de l\u2019escalade.<\/p>\n

Merci Yann!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Encore une fois merci Yann de tes pr\u00e9cieux enseignements pour l’artif.<\/p>\n

Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ton aide j’ai r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 faire ma premi\u00e8re nuit sur The Prow et \u00e0 atteindre le haut de la 6e longueur des Grands Galets au Cap Trinit\u00e9. Je n’ai pas encore trouv\u00e9 ma vitesse de croisi\u00e8re mais \u00e7a viendra !<\/p>\n

Je t’envoie cette photo de moi et de Joe C\u00f4t\u00e9 alors que je m’appr\u00eate \u00e0 grimper The Mordor Wall 5.12d\/5.6 A3, voie ouverte par Joe lui-m\u00eame \u00e0 la fin des ann\u00e9es 60.<\/p>\n

Yann est probablement le grimpeur le plus accompli, le plus exp\u00e9riment\u00e9 et surtout le plus allum\u00e9 que j’ai eu le privil\u00e8ge de c\u00f4toyer dans ma vie. Il est constamment \u00e0 la recherche des techniques les plus efficaces et les plus innovatrices pour sauver de pr\u00e9cieuses minutes \u00e0 chaque pitch des nombreux big walls qu’il a grimp\u00e9 dans sa vie. Il m’a non seulement appris \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de techniques super int\u00e9ressantes et pratique \u00e0 utiliser en parois, mais il m’a surtout appris \u00e0 analyser les outils et les techniques que j’utilisais d\u00e9j\u00e0, afin de m’amener \u00e0 m’am\u00e9liorer et \u00e0 devenir plus efficace comme grimpeur. Merci pour tout, Yann! Toujours un plaisir d’apprendre de nouveaux trucs avec toi! Cheers!<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s 12 ans d’escalade traditionnelle, j’ai d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de me lancer en artif. J’en avais d\u00e9j\u00e0 fait \u00e0 quelques reprises et j’avais bien aim\u00e9. Apr\u00e8s avoir contact\u00e9 la fqme pour suivre un cours, surprise?! Aucun cours d’artif ne se donne officiellement au Qu\u00e9bec. J’ai donc contact\u00e9 un ami, un vieux de la vielle, dans la milieu de l’escalade (Arian Manchego) et il m’a refer\u00e9 Yann Camus en me disant “c’est pas mal LA r\u00e9f\u00e9rence en artif au Qu\u00e9bec”. Yann a tr\u00e8s bien re\u00e7u mon appel et m’a m\u00eame invit\u00e9 chez eux pour me montrer quelque techniques. Par la suite il m’a m\u00eame conseill\u00e9 pour l’achat de mat\u00e9riel.
