Description

South through central Utah, there is a mountain range that exhales the greatness of its wild nature. It is the Wasatch range, that stretches 260 km from the Utah-Idaho border displaying an incredibly colorful flora.

That will be the location of this 4-day mountaineering course. You will learn technical rock and snow skills and be able to practice actual climbing.

On the first day, we will learn everything about alpine rock climbing, we will review belaying, rappelling and efficient movement on rock. We will get to climb a moderate peak such as Reservoir Ridge and a multi-pitch one like Steort’s Arete.

On the second day, we will deepen in our snow travel skills, our use of crampon and axe, and dare to mix climb Toledo Peak. On the third and fourth day, we will extend our knowledge of crevasse rescue and glacier travel, and will be more than ready to go through a big mountaineering route towards Mt. Olympus (2751 m).

To sign up, it is crucial to have some mountain experience and to be fit, although you don’t need proficiency in either rock or snow climbing.

If you want to spend 4 days in the Wasatch range paradise and be better at climbing, do not hesitate and book this program now.

There is also a multi-pitch ice climbing course in Utah that you can take a look at.

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.
