EDGES AND RIDGES COURSE

The progression in edges and ridges is subtle. A funambulista game in which it is necessary to fine tune in rhythm, belaying and progression system.

We love ridges and we would like to share it with you.

In most cases, we travel high mountain ridges to reach a peak. Learn to safely manage exposure.

 DATES:
Any date is good for us. In our calendar you have fixed dates.

Objectives

  • Aimed at mountaineers with a sports degree of IV +, who want to learn the correct operation of the short rope and other types of progression systems.
