Mixed climbing

Efficient and economical climbing using ice tools and crampons in challenging rock and icy terrain are the focus of this course. We place special emphasis on hazard management, belay techniques, climbing strategies as well as minimising the risk of injury. In addition, we offer comprehensive training to increase performance and practical tips for successful training.

The course is held alternately in a drytool climbing garden and on icy terrain. Through on-site video analysis, participants receive immediate feedback to improve their skills right away. At the end of the first day, the experiences gained are reflected on together. A theoretical block deepens the acquired knowledge and creates a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.
