Hemsedal offers some great ice climbing options, both single pitches and a lot of multi-pitches. There is also alpine climbing in the area.
This course will build on top of the ice climbing introduction course. We will refresh all the skills from previously, but add new layers. The focus will be multi pitch climbing, and we work towards that. With chopping a lot of ice along the way.

We will be 2 instructors, which means we will work in small groups so the ratio will always be good.
