Technics
Endurance
Alpine tours and mountain tours often take place on rocky ridges - easy scrambling in airy surroundings. Not difficult, but still exposed and adventurous. In this course we will show you how to move and belay on rock and how to move efficiently. We will refresh your knowledge or take you on your first tours on rock ridges. On the first day we will look at rope technique and practise micro rope lengths, abseiling and rope shortening in easy terrain and climb your first metres on rock. We then go on two practical tours where we immediately put into practice and improve what we have learnt.
