Recommendations for an Alpine course?
Posted: Mon Aug 02, 2010 4:47 pm
Hi everyone,
I am located in Finland, North Europe, and after a few ascents in the Nordic region, I am contemplating about moving to something a bit more demanding with a couple of my friends. Since Finland does not offer much in terms of mountains or glaciers, we're forced to look for our challenges as well as experiences elsewhere.
Since none of us have previous experience, we are interested in courses. The scope of the course would be glacier travel, alpine climbing with appropriate safety techniques and hopefully a summit somewhere around 4000 m / 13k feet. We have experience in rock climbing, hiking, winter condition camping.
So my question to you guys would be to ask for recommendations. Price is also a factor, so if you happen to know incredibly cheap but good courses that fit the description, please dont be shy
cheers,
Jukka
