Rock Climbing – advanced level
The Chamonix valley and the Mont Blanc region have endless possibilities when it comes to multi-pitch climbing. You find 
something suitable for all levels. In the Aiguilles Rouges (Brévent and Flégère area) there are many new multi-pitch climbs that have been equipped in the last few years, which makes it a great area to gently and safely get in to multi-pitch climbing with most routes more or less equipped with bolts and belay points.Taking the step from sport climbing to multi-pitch adds many new elements to climbing and also certain risks. Before you head out on your own it is important to know how to use the gear correctly and understand the environment. This course is designed to give you an introduction to the basic knowledge and skills you should have.
