FJC in Europe
Hi

I recently acquired base gear (crux, hayduke, snatches) and wonder if anyone can recommend a FJC in Europe. I've been looking at Brento Base School and Learn To Base Jump.

Thank you!

These 2 are good, you also have :
- https://www.o2basejump.com/ with David
- http://www.basestore.it/ with James but for a more "private" course (1 or 2 max)
- http://www.momobaseschool.com/ and https://www.rock-drop.com/ but I think these 2 are only in French
- https://www.pressurized.at/ has also courses
And probably some other but less known ones around

I prefer David's one but I'm not objective as he his a friend. I recommend it also because I know it's content and I know there is everything I would put in a course if I was doing one myself.
Probably the others courses are doing the same as all the people running them are experienced people.
I would not NOT recommend any of these.

You won't go wrong with either of those. I might make the decision based on price, or just contact them directly and ask more questions.

You have the SBK (Kjerag) FJC.
I'm not a big fan of it since there was no slider down part in it. I don't know if it has changed since then.
It's a beautiful place to start and it's at home for you, also the course was if I remember well inexpensive because of this SD part missing and so a shorter course (less than 1 week instead of 2 weeks for most of the courses).

Thanks a lot for the information. I'm mainly interested in big wall tracking, but I want to learn slider down as well. Therefore I'm not sure if this is the course for me.

You can also learn SD later in your BASE journey with some friends or with a coach.
If money or time are not a problem, and if you want to learn everything at once you should take an other one for sure.
Lots of pssibilities, the choice is yours !
