Mountaineering and climbing course, Peru

Our new 6 day mountaineering course gives climbers the chance to practice their new techniques on a technical climb, with supervision and guidance if needed.

We aim to prepare participants with little or no mountaineering experience to be contributing team members on glaciated mountains. This longer course allows us to look at the many hazards that snow covered mountains present, how to prepare for summits, alpine starts and how to plan conquering a peak.

We systematically teach these skills and techniques necessary to cope with and enjoy the mountains.

Areas covered:

Hypothermia treatment and prevention, Route finding, Crevasse rescue, Rope team travel, Snow and ice anchors, Belay systems, Climbing knots, Glaciology, Self-arrest, Top-rope management and an introduction to vertical ice climbing, Summit preparation & alpine starts, summit climb.

Please note: Exact location and daily itinerary can vary depending on weather and snow conditions, ability and experience of participants.

We also have a 3 day mountaineering course.

You could extend your trip by trekking the Inca Trail or visiting the Amazon.
