Online training: Risk management rock
The proven and popular online training with the expert
There are a few things to bear in mind when climbing steep rock. You should be familiar with objective and subjective dangers, know your equipment and be able to correctly assess the difficulty and requirements.
Exclusively and live with an experienced mountain professional, you will learn first-hand everything you need to know about weather and orientation, about physical relationships and, of course, about the correct use of your alpine equipment.
The strategies and techniques used by the proven expert are based on a wealth of experience from which you can learn a lot.
Of course, you will have the opportunity to ask specific questions on all topics relating to rock and ice climbing throughout the training.
