Do you have some climbing experience and want to try short multi-pitch routes? If so, this course is perfect for you! To provide the best possible training conditions, we have set up several quiet climbing areas in stunning locations specifically for these courses in recent years.
As well as refining protection and belay techniques, the course places particular emphasis on placing and using mobile protection devices. Participants will also practise building anchors using bolts and cams, as well as performing simple emergency rescue drills.
Participants plan and carry out the tours independently. However, a mountain guide is always on hand to offer advice and assistance. The impressive variety of tour options in the magnificent Dolomite landscape, coupled with a maximum of four participants, guarantees the high quality of this course.
