Alpine climbing- north faces, skills courses, ice, mixed and rock.

“For a climber the mountains are a testing ground where he is confronted by challenges which not only demand all his skill in meeting them but make him face up to his own motivation, perseverance and resilience when danger, hardship and fatigue all conspire to turn him back from his chosen objective. Given the chance, few can explain the compulsive fascination which draws them back year after year to this difficult school and makes them want to look further and higher, to push themselves all the harder”

Joe Tasker describing alpine climbing in his amazing book, Savage Arena
