Description
Do you want to make your first steps in ice climbing? Then join me for this amazing course in one of the best destinations for this sport: Rjukan, in Norway.
Located 370 km away from Bergen and 175 km from Oslo, Rjukan is one of the best places for ice climbing in Northern Europe.
It has more than 150 frozen waterfalls which are easy to access and suitable for everyone with a good physical condition.
What about the course? Well, you’ll basically learn how to use your body mechanics in an efficient way. This is very important for ice climbing and it will help you to develop your skills quickly. You’ll learn basic techniques for ice climbing and practice as much as you can!
Besides, I can adapt the course according to your skills and the amount or days you are coming (it can be from 1 to 3 days). Each day of the course will last from 5 to 10 hours.
Furthermore, I can also provide this course in Hemsedal, as an alternative location. If its more convenient for you, or ice conditions are better there, we can choose this place.
Please contact me if this ice climbing course interests you! I will help you to organize the best program according to your level and wishes.

Mountain Guide
I am a fully certified IFMGA guide since 2012. I have, however, mastered my climbing and skiing skills for many years before taking up guiding. I have participated in numerous climbing expeditions not only to the wild mountains of Caucasus (which I have gotten to know pretty well), but also to Nepal, Alps and have extensively climbed in many Norwegian areas. In recent years I have been resident in Norway, and I co-operate with my friends at Lyngen Outdoor Center as their chief mountain guide.

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.
