Climbing on icefalls means entering a unique, solitary dimension of the mountain. Ice climbing is an activity where you experience large emotions in an unique environment that only the cold of winter can create.
This course is for those who want to participate in this magical activity. Ice climbing is not as crazy as it might seems. It provides the feeling of entering an enchanted world, an emotion that only those who have experienced it can understand.
