Rockclimbing in Israel. Basic Rockclimbing program and sightseeing.

I can bet that when referring to Israel as a tourist destination, you will hardly have any association with rockclimbing! Anything come to mind: fat bodies smeared with mud in the Dead Sea, the pilgrims to the Christian shrines, whispering prayers Jewish orthodox, ruins of ancient times and ultra modern buildings of Tel Aviv, anything but not cliff hangers. However, this error is due to a very standard, one-sided (and thick-minded), primitive knowledge about Israel. Meanwhile, this young and dynamically developing country, with all the variety of terrain, could not stay far from the modern currents and not to give birth to such a universal phenomenon, as rockclimbing. Israel has provided two main prerequisites for the development of a new and trendy sport: active and healthy generation of young people have found a new and exciting form of sports entertainment, and on the other hand - rock formations, which are abound in the north and the south of Israel, were found suitable for the equipment of the rockclimbing routes of all the levels. In general, it started! For 10-12 years, the Israeli rockclimbing community grew into a strong independent organization called ILCC (Israel Climbers Club), able to develop, contact with government, and to expand and develop a climbing infrastructure in Israel. Currently, Israel has 15 major climbing areas in which there are more than 500 climbing routes of different difficulty levels.

It's not much, but given the size of the country (Israel in length does not exceed 400 km) and diverse (and sometimes - unique) nature of the rocks, we can say that today, Israel is of interest not only to local enthusiasts, but also for the international climbing community.
Israel is interesting for rockclimbing mostly during the winter months, from November to April, as for climbing in the hot season one should be very heat-resistant, in order to train outside in the burning desert sun. However, is it nearly the same season for rockclimbing in many parts of Europe. All over Israel, in addition to numerous equipped climbing areas, there is a well-developed network of indoor climbing walls and bouldering gyms, which allows to the Israeli climbers not to interrupt their training in bad weather or in the hot summer months.

Visiting Israel for the reason of rockclimbing can be combined perfectly with going to the most interesting historical sites that are so numerous in this country - the main and most developed rockclimbing sectors of Israel are located close to Jerusalem – which is probably the most popular tourist center in Israel.

We invite everybody interested in rockclimbing to participate in our climbing program in Israel. Your rockclimbing level and experience do not matter: we orient this program for beginners, but also if you are an experienced climber, you also easily can find something to do - in the sectors in which we organize our rockclimbing workout, you can find any routes from the most basics (5), to the routes which are more than serious (7b, 8c).

This 8-day rockclimbing program in Israel was developed for people, who don't have previous rockclimbing experience, and who want to get introduced with the classic rockclimbing in its natural form - on the real rocks. But participation in this program will be interesting not only to the beginners in rockclimbing! In the climbing locations of Israel where we organize our rockclimbing trainings, the routes can be found in the range from grad V - the basics, to the most interesting and complicated rockclimbing challenges of 7b-8c!

Planning the trip, we take as basis our standard short rockclimbing 8 days variant which allows us to combine climbing with sightseeing and recreations. We do not limit ourselves to just climbing rocks - for us it is more than sport - it is our way of life - active, bright and full of adventures! This 8 days Israel Rockclimbing program is developed for people, who has small rock climbing experience or has none at all and who would like to try what is the rockclimbing. For participation in this program we recommend to take a brief AlexClimb Course of indoor rockclimbing in Moscow to get the basic climbing skills before the taking your part in your rockclimbing program in Israel.
