Next complete course

We run this as a First Jump Course with a Big Wall Course straight afterwards. The next pairing is:

  • Phase 1 (June FJC '27): 18–24 June 2027
  • Phase 2 (Big Wall Course '27): 26 June 2027 – 3 July 2027
See both on the trips page

The Complete BASE Course runs our First Jump Course and Big Wall Course back to back. Instead of splitting your training across several seasons, you keep your momentum going from your first slider-down jumps to Europe’s big walls.

It’s an intense programme. It’s popular with students travelling from Australia, the US and further afield who want to make the most of one trip to Europe.

Total duration: 12–14 days.

A Note on Intensity & Safety
