Many of the mountain climbs we undertake, especially classic climbs such as Aneto and its feared Mahoma Pass, the famous Salenques-Tempestades Pyrenean ridge, or any ridge or ridge, sometimes require specific progression and safety techniques.
With this course, we'll provide you with the techniques and tactics necessary to progress over ridges and ridges, teaching you how to use the specific equipment required to carry out this type of activity with complete safety and skill.
We don't want to teach you how to climb a wall, but rather to give you the basics of progression in adventure terrain such as high mountain terrain. We want to equip mountaineers with the skills and resources to successfully tackle isolated passes of a certain difficulty (III-IV) and to be able to safely overcome them.
