Introductory mountaineering and trekking course in Buenos Aires (Capital Federal), 2 days

When it comes to mountaineering, there is a lot of skills and techniques to be learned. Those skills and techniques are necessary to ensure your climbing endeavors are as safe as they are successful. However, it is important to learn the basic fundamentals of mountaineering before progressing to more advanced and challenging aspects. As a result, I believe this 2-day mountaineering and trekking course will be of great value to any aspiring mountaineer.

The course will take place in the beautiful Argentinean capital city of Buenos Aires. The course will consist of 2 intensive classes, each one lasting 7 hours, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Throughout the course, you will learn a great deal. Some examples of what will be covered includes the following.

• Mountain ethics

• History of mountaineering

• Formation of the relief and its characteristics

• No trace preparation and training

While that might seem like a lot of information to take in over just 2 days, you can rest assured that the classes will be very comprehensive. And, by the end of the course, you will have a much firmer grasp on the fundamentals of mountaineering and trekking than you did prior to taking the course.
