Crevasses are a big part of mountaineering. They are present in most peaks and glaciers. As a result, it is important to know how to deal with them safely. It is also important to know how to conduct a proper rescue in case of an accident involving a crevasse. That is why I am offering this 2 hour evening course at the Sihlhölzli outdoor sporting complex in Zurich.
Throughout this brief, but thorough course, you will learn how to properly pull a person out of a crevasse with a double pulley. By the end of the course, my goal is that you will be able to enjoy mountaineering on a glacier independently, knowing you can perform basic rescue techniques.
The Sihlhölzli sporting complex offers a great environment for this evening crevasse rescue course, which takes place at 6:30 pm. Furthermore, the complex’s location is great because it is positioned in the city of Zurich. A great Swiss city full of amazing highlights, Zurich is also located near the Alps. Thus giving you the chance to put what you’ve learned in this course into practice in one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world.
Learning proper crevasse rescue techniques is crucial for fun, safe and successful mountaineering on peaks and glaciers. If you would like to learn those techniques, just send me a request. I would be happy to guide you.
I also offer another 2 hour evening course at the Sihlhölzli sporting complex that focuses on properly roping on a glacier.

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.
