From our base in Chamonix you will be introduced to the essential mountaineering skills that will be the foundation for your future climbing endeavours. To be a safe and competent mountaineer it is essential to learn the most current techniques from the experts.
Your week with us will be spent learning the basic skills of rock climbing, belaying, crampon techniques, how to move safely on glacial terrain, ice-axe self-arrest and how to effect a crevasse rescue. These skills will then be put into practice during ascents of various peaks in the Mont Blanc Massif.
