8-day Ice Climbing Expedition in the Dolomites

Join me on this exhilarating 8-day ice climbing expedition in the breathtakingly beautiful Dolomites!

Our adventure begins after we meet for the orientation at the hotel in Füssen. The next morning, we drive on to either Tannheimertal, Austria or South Tirol, Italy, weather permitting. In either of these stunning locations, we will begin climbing!

We will practice using crampons as well as axes and climb up a few icefalls of varying steepness. Depending on how well we progress, we might even try some vertical ice.

The next day, we will go over some safety and more climbing techniques. We will also learn how to place and clean ice screws, how to prepare belay stances in ice and how to pass an ice bulge.

All of this prepares us for the next 3.5 days of mixed climbing challenges. You will use your lead climbing skills on an icefall with the option to place your own screws along the way.

You will also have the opportunity to build your own stance and belay on a multi-pitch ice course in preparation for the highlight of our trip.

This comes on the sixth day, when we climb a long waterfall together while switching leads. The ice climb is stunning and the scenery at the top will be absolutely sublime.

Finally, our adventure will culminate with a mix climbing challenge. We will spend half of a day climbing short and steep waterfalls before heading back to Füssen and saying goodbye.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this exhilarating ice climbing adventure in the stunningly scenic Dolomites.
