Description
I propose you to go for two days in the Mont-Blanc massif to discover if mountaineering is a discipline you like.
You will have the opportunity to try walking on a snowy glacier, with and without crampons, and to climb a via ferrata on a cliff.
I will teach you the technical notions necessary to progress on a glacier and on a via ferrata. After that, you will know if you like mountaineering and if you want to renew the experience.
Objectives of the course:
- Try walking with and without crampons on a snowy glacier.
- Try roped-up progression on a glacier.
- Try roped-up progression and technique on a via ferrata section.
If you wish to continue your learning in the activity, I advise you to follow me on the following courses:
