CLIMBING COURSE
The aim of the climbing course is for you to learn enough to start climbing in the mountains without an instructor.
The first part of the course takes place in the charming small village of Lom. Here we practice climbing techniques, securing, and rope team procedures. We stay at a camping site. Lom has groceries, a bakery, outdoor shops, and even a real stave church.
The second part of the course takes place in the Jotunheimen mountains, in the area around Galdhøpiggen. Here, you will learn proper mountain climbing among beautiful climbing routes. Our most used mountains are Skeia (the spoon) and Little Galdhøpiggen.
On the last day of the course, those who wish to do so can try lead climbing under the supervision of an instructor.
