Courses
Drakensberg ice is a
great introduction to the world of Alpine Climbing. We offer 2 and 3 day
courses where clients are shown all the skills needed to move and climb
safely in winter. These courses are especially useful before going to climb
in the greater rangers. You will learn how to climb “French Style” front-
point, ice-axe arrest, place ice protection, snow belays and assess
objective dangers. Clients must have prior rock climbing experience.
