Ice climbing progression course in “Les Ecrins”
PERFECT YOUR ICE SKILLS ON WORLD CLASS ICE-FALLS IN “LES ECRINS”
This course is made for climbers who want to live the full experience of climbing serious and long ice falls – mixed or pure ice.
Why is the “Ecrins” region such a haven for ice climbing? Because it has so many deep valleys of all orientations and altitude, filled with gushing waterfalls in the summer. A page of Ice climbing history has been written there in Fressinieres’s ultra famous Gramussat wall, 300m of steep ice streaks, from grade 5 to 7! And so many other valleys : Ceillac, Crevoux, les Orres, Fressinières, Le Fournel, La Grave, Val d’escrins…and many more!
5 days with a passionate IFMGA mountain guide to teach you about managing risk, assessing danger, climbing efficiently, how to get out of sticky situations…and having a blast! Your forearms should be sore by the end of the week.
The first day will be a refresher on a single pitch crag. We’ll work on ice and rock technique and rope maneuvers. The next four days of the course will be spent climbing the plethora of massive ice falls that make the region so great for ice climbing.
A cozy hotel close to the little town of L’argentiere , in the heart of the ice climbing region, will be your home for the 5 days of the course.
