Want to try your hand at outdoor rope climbing without having to take a bunch of courses first? We'll fix that! This is for anyone who is curious about climbing, or for those who want to organize a fun after work or team building activity at work.
I will take you out to a suitable rock and set up anchors, and you just climb while I take care of everything related to safety for a full day.
Bring your own climbing shoes, lunch bag, and suitable clothing. Where we go depends on what grades you can climb.
If there is no available date at this time, or you would rather book a course on a different date, please submit a private course request, just call or email me, and we will find dates that work for you.

It is possible to climb in ordinary shoes such as hiking shoes, but it is more difficult as they probably have a softer sole and slightly worse grip than climbing shoes. If you want to climb in ordinary shoes, take the ones with a solid sole and that don't move around on your foot too much.
Surmount organizes climbing courses and events in Scania and southern Sweden, and in Costa Blanca, Spain. If you want to get a green card, red card, learn to sport climb, rappel, become an instructor or outdoor climbing leader, improve your climbing technique, learn something specific, or just try climbing, I can help you.
**Who am I? **
My name is Sami Ylinen. I started climbing in 2006, and I've been a certified climbing instructor since 2016 with the Swedish Climbing Federation, Svenska Klätterförbundet. I have previously worked as a climbing instructor and shop manager at Klättercentret in Malmö, and I also teach climbing at Malmö Climbing Club.
I'm originally from Timrå, but I've lived in Malmö for more than 20 years. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy climbing sport or trad, preferably in Spain, making pancakes over a camp fire, painting and drawing, and building stuff. I also work as a goldsmith. I have masters degrees in music and in pedagogy, and I'm a certified first aid and CPR instructor.
