mountain_guide_zermatt

You have done your ice or rock training and finally you would like to climb big mountains but you also know one training is not enough to climb by yourself. For those ones or the ones who think they haven't got enough experience to climb a fourthousander by themselves, I created a special training. Mountaineering is not about going to trainings, mountaineering is to do climbs, to achieve experience. Achieving experience is a long continuing process. My goal is to share my experience with you while you climb several three- and fourthousander. You will learn:


  • Planning of climbs
  • Orientation with map and compass
  • Leading of climbs
  • Improving rope techniques
  • Behaivour on glaciers
  • Crevasse rescuing
  • Crevasse rescuing
  • Crampons techniques
  • Basic mountaineering skills

You will plan the climbs and lead them in independent rope parties. During the planning of the tours and climbs I'm always with you to give you tips, erase lack of knowledge, to clear confusions, to help you on tricky spots or to stop you making mistakes which could be dangerous.
