KOLON SPORT's Mountaineering School Arrives in China – April 13, 2015
KOLON ALPINE SCHOOL, a division of KOLON SPORT, was founded in 1985 in South Korea as a professional outdoor education institution dedicated to promoting safe and correct mountaineering practices. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the school’s establishment, and as part of its global expansion, KOLON SPORT officially launched the KOLON China Mountaineering School in 2015. The initiative aims to bring professional training and knowledge to Chinese climbers, making outdoor sports more accessible, enjoyable, and secure for the local population.
The first courses offered at the KOLON China Mountaineering School included the Outdoor Basic Course and the Primary Climbing Course, with the first session starting on April 25, 2015. Before this official launch, a group of 14 experienced Chinese climbers visited the KOLON Mountaineering School in the foothills of North Hwanghae Mountain in South Korea in July 2014 and January 2015. These exchange programs were designed to build strong foundations for the future of climbing education in China.
China is rich in natural landscapes and has vast potential for outdoor activities. As urban life becomes more stressful, many people are seeking ways to reconnect with nature. However, few have the proper training or knowledge to engage safely in outdoor sports. KOLON SPORT recognized this need and saw an urgent opportunity to introduce structured, professional mountaineering education to the country.
The KOLON China Mountaineering School emphasizes rationality, freedom, and progress as its core values. It combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice to ensure participants learn safe climbing techniques and essential outdoor skills. Each class features a one-on-four or one-on-five instructor-to-student ratio, ensuring personalized guidance and a deeper learning experience. The school continuously updates its teaching methods and materials to reflect the latest developments in climbing technology and safety standards.
The instructors at KOLON China Mountaineering School are seasoned professionals from diverse backgrounds, passionate about climbing and committed to sharing their expertise. Their goal is to inspire and guide Chinese climbers toward a more meaningful and sustainable relationship with the outdoors.
In 2015, the opening of the KOLON China Mountaineering School marked a new chapter in the development of climbing culture in China. As President Li Rongda emphasized, this initiative reflects KOLON SPORT’s dedication to providing quality education and fostering a safer, more inclusive outdoor community. The school operates as a non-profit organization, striving to promote climbing culture and create a vibrant, accessible space for all outdoor enthusiasts.
This is not just a school—it’s the beginning of a new era in China’s climbing movement, where innovation, safety, and passion come together to shape the future of outdoor adventure.
