Heya
My name is Salik. I have put together a Beginners ice climbing course for Bø Klatregruppa.
1400,- NOK pr. person for a 2-days course that will give you the tools to go out iceclimbing on top rope.
This does not include staying at Old School Hostel and rental gear.
Accomodation and rental prices will come.
The price may change a bit if we need to rent ropes, slings etc.
You can either rent bedlinen or bring your own.
Everyone must provide their own food, there is a kitchen in the hostel. We will cook dinner together though.
This course is for you if:
- You want to expand your climbing season to include the winter without freezing your fingers of.
