Do you want to finally venture from the climbing garden into the long tours, not be back on the ground after just one pitch, but instead complete pitch after pitch? On these three days we will climb on super rocks and learn a few tips and tricks along the way. We spend the night in the Hotel Steingletscher and are therefore in a climbing paradise, as climbing gardens and multi-pitch routes of varying degrees of difficulty await us on our doorstep. We learn the basic techniques of multi-pitch climbing or refresh them and have enough time to go into advanced techniques, tips and tricks. We put what we have learnt into practice straight away and go on suitable multi-pitch routes. On the second evening, our mountain guide will give a theoretical input on "Meteo, rescue and first aid". This will give you an insight into different rescue techniques, which we can also use and practise the next day. You will learn a lot on these training and application days and, if you wish, you will also be able to lead climb yourself and gain confidence in the equipment and techniques.
