Advanced Mountaineering Training
Mixed ground, belays, leading a rope team at altitude and turnaround decisions, on six-thousand-metre peaks.
In coordination with the NNMGA
01The training
After the basics, the ground gets steeper and decisions matter more. Trainees lead a rope team on mixed ground, build their own belays and learn to choose the line.
The heart of the training is judgement: when to go on, when to wait, and when to turn around.
