PROGRAM
Day 1:
We'll meet at the agreed meeting point and, on the first day, we'll familiarize ourselves with the course content in the crag, diligently practicing it, and acquiring the necessary knowledge for the next day. Then, on a well-protected route, we'll have the necessary know-how to string together our first pitches.
Day 2:
If everything goes according to plan, we'll attempt a well-protected multi-pitch route and put what we learned the previous day into practice. We'll climb as independent rope teams, always under the supervision of a mountain guide, pitch by pitch, and will further deepen and internalize our multi-pitch climbing techniques with each pitch.
Any changes to the program that may be necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, accommodation booking situation, etc.) will always be made in consultation with the participants.
