| This comprehensive course is carefully crafted to build upon your foundation in single pitch ice climbing, offering you the exciting opportunity to delve into the world of multipitch ice climbing.
Geared towards individuals with prior ice climbing experience, the programme also welcomes those with a background in multipitch rock climbing. Join us as you expand your skill set amidst the stunning icy landscapes of the Gressoney Valley, all while being taught by IFMGA certified guides. |
You will arrive in Gressoney and check into your accommodation for your overnight stay.
Single Pitch Top Rope
After breakfast you will meet with your Mountain Guide for a briefing. Your equipment will be checked and you will have the chance to rent anything you may need.
You will spend the day revisiting your ice climbing skills with your guide and reminding yourself of the safety elements, techniques and a general refresher of Ice climbing to ensure you make the most of the week to come.
Skills
You will continue to refine your skills, however today will include learning a number of additional skills such as anchor placement, building belays, belay stances, rope management and abseiling.
Multipitch Ice Climbing
On these days the group will split, with some having a rest day while the others put their skills to the test, ascending spectacular ice falls being guided up your first multipitch ice climb by your IFMGA guide. The ratio for multipitch climbing is 1:2 so you will have significant time with the guide to enhance your skills and progress.
If you would prefer to not have a rest day, but instead include an additional day of Multipitch Ice Climbing, this can be added on at the time of booking for €200pp.
