Skills course for Alpine Climbing – Orny area, Switzerland

Are you looking to upgrade your rock climbing skills? Do you want to climb more serious and technical Alpine Climbing route, where you need to place your own protections and build your own anchors? This is your chance! Join me for a challenging rock climbing course in the Swiss Alps, and bring your friends along.

In this course, you will learn how to “trad” climb – protect yourself using friends (or cams) and nuts, and build anchors in different situations!

The location for this program is the surroundings of the traditional Cabane d' Orny. This beautiful mountain hut (2,832 m) is located between two lakes, and faces the impressive Orny glacier.

During this day, we will pursue different climbs, located at only 45 minutes from the hut. I will teach all about "trad" climbing – or traditional climbing – which is exactly how rock climbing used to be not that long ago. This will include learning route-finding and technical knowledge of climbing anchors. All of this, on real, natural walls.

The groups for this program are of a minimum of 4 climbers. The climbing level required is 5b.

This program is available on demand, in the summer.
