 An
introduction to this very individual style of climbing. Whatever
the grade you can be sure it will be pretty steep! If you
can follow VS/4c confidently then there is a lot to interest
you. Courses will be located in Canazei (camping) close to
the Sella and Rosengarten climbing areas. Each day will be
spent climbing on high quality multi-pitch routes and returning
to base in the evening. The course offers a good chance to
learn more about efficient techniques to speed up progress
on long routes, including stance management, belays and moving
together. Descent is often by a series of long abseils and
once again the skills involved in safe progress will be covered
in detail.
 The
whole of the Dolomite chain contains some really fantastic
scrambling (Via Ferrata’s) which would offer an exciting
extension to this six day programme, which individuals could
follow themselves if holiday time allowed.
Access to this area is via the German autobahn system and
Innsbruck, then over the Brenner Pass. It is also possible
to fly to Innsbruck or Milan and take a train to Bolzano where
you can be picked up. It should be possible to use trains
all the way from Britain as far as Bolzano.
