This course is an introduction to ice and rock climbing, suitable for those who have completed a glacier course or who have similar experience.
To participate, you must be familiar with the proper handling of crampons, ice ax and rope, and you need to have experience in crevasse rescue. We do not require any rock climbing experience.
