Description
It is easy to get lost in the mountains or take an incorrect path along a route. Hence, why orientation is a skill that must be learned, practiced and perfected in order to ensure a safe and successful expedition. That is why I am happy to offer this 2-day orienteering course in the central Andes of Chile, near Santiago.
Throughout this course, we will focus on cartography and orientation. You will be taught how to design and follow a route in the mountains safely and securely.
The course will consist of one day in the mountains and one day focusing on theory in a classroom.
Some of what we will cover during this course includes the following.
Basic concepts of cartography
Natural orientation
Reading topographic maps
Orientation with natural elements
How to use a compass and follow a map
How to read and interpret terrain
Planning and executing an ascent using different techniques
To participate on this course, you should be in good physical condition.
As important as the climbing itself knowing about proper orientation is very important in the mountains. So, if you would like to learn how to properly navigate your way through the mountains during an expedition, just send a request. I look forward to hearing from you and guiding you.
I also offer a 5-day basic level mountaineering course, which also takes place in the Andes, near Santiago.
