Two friends and I are looking for a crew to climb the Finsteraarhorn and Jungfrau in the last week of July and first week of August.

In the week of 21st to 28th of July, we'll be following the C2 course, given by the NKBV (the Dutch National Mountaineering Club) in the Bernese Alps. This involves every aspects of safe travel on glaciers and in alpine terrain:
- trip planning
- orientation
- safety techniques
- rescue techniques
