The purpose of this note is to present to you the form of mountaineering practice that we offer during our various mountaineering or climbing courses in high mountains.
To do this, our courses are organized around the learning of techniques and principles of evolution in mountains.
This approach involves evolutions in “autonomous” teams where the trainee-participants implement safety techniques, learned beforehand. The rope then evolves without being systematically connected to a guide by a rope. These evolutions into “autonomous” teams are carried out under the guidance of the guide, which determines the modalities of these evolutions according to the level of the trainee-participants and the conditions in the field.
The trainee-participant in a mountaineering or high-mountain climbing course undertakes to accept the form of instruction offered and certifies having read this information.
