Multiple trainings are given every week, for both beginners and advanced climbers. To participate, you must both be a member of the ESAC and have a sports card. For sport climbing training you must be in possession of a Toprope certificate. This can be obtained at ESAC at the start of the academic year and with the spring intro at the Indoor Toprope course. For more courses see the courses section.
There are also plenty of opportunities for ESAC people to climb outside of organized training courses and climbing weekends. Especially on Mondays and Thursdays, when climbing is extra cheap, chances are that you will bump into other members. In addition to the discounts described below, there are many more discount promotions especially for ESAC members (link discounts and partners).
Our trainings are not possible without our lovely trainers! Below they give a small introduction of themselves.
Hi, I'm Dirk. I am a climber and teacher with 30 + years of experience in climbing in 15 + countries/states. I love all sports. I got involved with ESAC in 1984: I carried two buckets of sand. Or stones? Don't remember...
Hello! I'm Jerin and I have developed a sweet spot for almost all disciplines of mountain sports. From bouldering to ice climbing, but especially (outdoor) sportsclimbing. I have now been giving trainings and instructions for ESAC and Neoliet for about five years.
The biggest pleasure of giving a training I get from challenging every participant at their own level of prestations, so they can get the most out of themselves climbing both inside and outside.
See you in the climbing hall!
Hiii, Liz here! I’ve been sport climbing since I was eight years old, and my love for the sport has only grown since then. For over 10 years I’ve participated in bouldering and lead climbing competitions, climbed outdoors regularly and dedicated many of my free evenings to training.
At my youth club, I started coaching young children, which I
found very fun and rewarding as I could help them with developing their
skills. After moving to Eindhoven, I had to stop giving training sessions there, so I am stoked to give the Thursday trainings here at ESAC. Young
children and ESAC climbers, how big can the difference be?
Hi I'm Alea and I have been climbing since I was 13 and spent four years on the competition team at Neoliet Eindhoven Noord. Unfortunately, due to COVID, I only got to compete in two years of youth lead comps. I also really enjoy climbing outdoors, there’s something special about climbing on real rock.
During my gap year, I spent the entire winter season in Austria working as a ski and snowboard instructor, which was a nice way to challenge myself.
These days, I train about four times a week and still compete in adult lead comps. I really enjoy giving the ESAC expert training, it's cool to help others grow and improve in their climbing.
