Alpine climbing in the Dolomites, 6 days in the Sella group

A world heritage site since 2009, the Dolomites in northeastern Italy are a mountain range famous for their beauty and for being wonderful climbing terrain.

Limestone rock shaped in peaks, craggs and ledges that all combine to form exciting, challenging and rewarding climbing experiences.

On this trip you will be climbing in the Sella Group, a plateau-shaped massif with a peak of 3,151m at Piz Boe.

Laying at the interesction of four valleys, other peaks of the Sella Group include Cima Pisciadu 2,985m, Beseekofel 2,910m, the four Sellaturme 2,696m, Sass Pordoi 2,952m and Brunecker Turm 2,495m.

This ‘Alpinism’ course will aim to see you ascending many of these classic peaks, using well known climbing manoeuvres to enable you to take on even the greatest ascents.

This course requires that you possess a high level of climbing skill already, that you can lead a 6a climb and have experience on multi-pitch routes.

You need to know how to trad climb at grade level IV, have a good awareness of safety and rescue procedures and be in excellent physical condition for multi-pitch climbing routes.

I am a vastly experienced certified mountain guide and I know the area intimately, therefore I will inform you about the area and its history for a more enriching trip.

You will improve your climbing and alpine safety knowledge, your climbing technique and also learn to fall.

Additionally I will enhance your ability to set up belay stations, place gear and to read a climbing route.
