WHY THIS CLIMB

A two-day glacier skills workshop

Two days to learn how to move on a glacier.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

Two intense days based in an alpine hut, with the Guidders, to experience the real mountains and learn to move safely among glaciers and snow crests.

Day 1. Technique and safety at altitude: the correct use of crampons and ice axe, roped progression, self-arrest, reading the terrain. Day 2. Putting it all into practice: a summit climb together, applying in the field what you have learnt.

It is designed for anyone wanting to take a step further and begin moving on glacial ground safely.

5 reasons to come - learning the fundamental techniques of high altitude - two days based in an alpine hut - the summit climb on day two, to put it into practice - crampons, axe and rope actually used, not just explained - a step towards real independence in the mountains

Who it suits Anyone wanting to start moving on glacial ground: good physical condition is needed, the rest is learnt here.

Learning while enjoying yourself, up high: come with the Guidders.
