Our Vision

No (serious) accidents in Austria’s climbing gyms!

 

Our Motivation

Sport climbing inspires. Accidents happen – even in climbing gyms.

The number one cause of accidents is human error:

Carelessness, insufficient mastery of belay devices, underestimating risks, blackouts. Paying attention to just a few rules can reliably prevent dangerous ground falls.

 

Our Strategy

The Climb Safely Tour is another initiative of the Alpenverein for accident prevention in sport climbing. Sport climbing instructors and mountain guides from the Alpenverein National Training Team tour Austria’s climbing gyms. These experts will be your personal coaches. They will help you improve your belaying technique in sport climbing and practice the essential safety standards. Are you familiar with your belay device? Can you hold an unexpected fall? We want to convince you that climbing is a sport that requires a professional risk mentality. And we want to inspire you to model this attitude in your circle of friends and share your know-how.
