Description

Are you looking for an exciting winter experience in Chile? Then join me! Let’s go the Nevados de Sollipulli on a glacier travel and crevasse self-rescue course!

Nevados de Sollipulli is a volcanic complex in the Chilean region of La Araucanía, close to the small town of Melipeuco. It is part of the Southern Volcanic Zone of the Andes, and home to several impressive glaciers.

This 4-day course is for people who want to make winter ascents that involve crossing glaciers. My goal is to provide you the basic techniques of glacier progression and some important self-rescue skills for crevasses. Keep in mind that it requires some basic knowledge of crampons and ice axe usage, as well as a good fitness level.

We will work on:

Basic glaciology
Knots for glacier progression and self-rescue maneuvers
Glacier progression: tie-in and individual techniques
Self-rescue in glaciers

So, if you want to explore the impressive Nevado de Sollipulli and become a better climber, then please contact me! Get ready for a 4-day course in a breathtaking area!

I also offer a 5-day mountaineering course near Pucon. Check it out here.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
