What’s the plan?

Tim will meet the group at Golzern, Talstation Seilbahn at 10:15. We will either hike all the way up or take the gondola up to Golzern and hike to Windgällenhütte. We will be able to drop some of our stuff at the hut before walking to one of the many crags around it. There we will refresh what we learned in course 2, enjoy some alpine climbing and acquire more advanced skills.

We will enjoy the evening with good conversation, a nice dinner and wine, and stay overnight at this lovely hut.

After breakfast on Sunday, we will continue to explore the climbing area and practice the skills we learned on Saturday, this time on a different crag. After a second full day of climbing, we will find our way back to the train station.
