Day 1

Arrival in our destination area, which is chosen depending on the ice conditions. We move into our quarters and use the rest of the day: refreshing what we have learned so far and the basics, a lot of climbing in toprope and also leading easy terrain, which is suitable for that.

Day 2

We form two roped parties and try for the first time to climb several consecutive pitches (at least 2) including a belay construction.

Day 3

The final day of the course is the passage of several pitches of a simple to moderate icefall under the supervision of the mountain guide.
