Course 3 – Alpine Rock Climbing:

Apply your newly acquired skills from courses 1 & 2 at an Alpine Rock Climbing weekend. This is the trip at the end of the season when it all comes together, by practicing your lead climbing, belaying, and anchor skills in a high-altitude setting. We’ll stay overnight in a mountain hut with access to climbing routes right out the front

Participation in Course 2 – Lead Sport Climbing, Belaying and Anchors, or previous experience with outdoor lead climbing.

Details

Tim will meet the group in front of the Göschenen train station at 09:10 on Saturday. From there we will take the PostBus up to Dammagletscher and hike to the stunning Bergseehütte (located at 2,370m). There we will refresh what we learned in course 2, enjoy some alpine rock climbing and acquire more advanced skills.

We stay overnight in the well-known Bergseehütte, where we will enjoy the evening with good conversation, a nice dinner and wine, and stay overnight.

After breakfast on Sunday, we will continue to explore the various rock climbing areas and practice the skills we learned on Saturday. There is even a Via Ferrata route in the same area.
