Rock Climbing
If rock climbing does one thing, it surely inspires us to try and try again in its delicate dance with gravity to stay centered, breathe, and seek a solution to attain our next move. Come demystify the rock climbing experience and develop a greater understanding of the physics involved with moving and protecting ourselves in vertical terrain. We can collaborate to customize an ideal experience for you offering instruction in top rope site management and anchor construction, multi-pitch anchoring & efficiency, lead climbing and self-rescue. We can also can go climbing for the day and move over as much stone as you want. My favorite venues are scattered in the Valle D' Aosta, Mont Blanc Massive, Finale Ligure, Dolomitti, Chamonix, Sicily, Sardinia and Kalymnos. See the Sailing and Climbing page for details on the Mederteranean destinations.
Moving over frozen waterfalls in the winter environment is the most surreal medium of climbing in which I engage. Everything about it seems impossible and yet there you are hundreds of feet off the deck on a sea of ice connected by millimeters of metal and a lot of courage, trust, and patience. Climbing ice is a fundamental skill of mountaineering and developing solid crampon and ice axe techniques is paramount for all alpine climbers. We can collaborate to customize an ideal experience for you offering instruction in these techniques: top rope site management and anchor construction, multi-pitch anchoring & efficiency, lead climbing and self-rescue.
