multi-pitch
ice climbing course level 3
Level 3
If you have already gained some experience as a lead climber on ice, your spectrum will be extended to the multi-pitch routes and to the "real" icefalls. The abilities and confidence to lead a multi-rope ice tour is considerably improved with the professional training and the tips & tricks of the ICEGUIDES. In the level 3 - ice climbing course, it is being worked on the one hand on the ice climbing technique in lead climbing, and on the other hand on the safety technique and handling of an icefall. This is the final course of our advanced courses, which turns an ice climbing beginner into a capable multi-pitch ice climber. From this point on you will have the abilities to see the vast number of icefalls in the Alps with different eyes and rediscover them!
If the dates given by us are not possible, we can of course offer the same programme on other dates!

The icefalls in the Tauern valley and at the Felbertauern as well as the ice park, and the mixed climbing areas in the region are ideal for this. The ratio of mountain guide to participant is reduced to 1:2.
The fee for the "multi-pitch day" of the iceGuides mountain guide is € 405,00.
Only for participants of level 3 - multi-pitch course!
location / meeting point / how to get there
The Level 1 - Climbing Course takes place in the Ice Park East Tyrol (if otherwise it will be announced at registration). Meeting point is the Matrei Tauernhaus.
In order to keep the prices manageable, the individual course participants are responsible for the journey to the destination and necessary drives during the course. On top of that, it allows you to be flexible and to undertake further activities, such as ski tours in East Tyrol.
sleeping / food
Accommodation and food are not included in the price. However, in addition to the ideal base for the East Tyrolean Ice Park, the Matrei Tauernhaus, there are plenty of accommodation options in Matrei or other places in East Tyrol. We recommend you book the accommodation early enough, as especially in the high season (Christmas, February - March), places are often fully booked.
The tourist information office Matrei in East Tyrol is at your disposal for further information.
Lastly, do not forget a snack (e.g. sweets, power bars, etc.) and liquid for the day. We recommend to bring warm drinks in a thermos.

Technical material is NOT included in the price (10€/person/day)
Since we do not climb constantly, there can be "standing times" in cold temperatures, so make sure to bring along enough warm clothes - one cools down quite quickly!
We recommend you bring light clothing of varying thickness to achieve an "onion system" for greater comfort. Cotton is not suitable as it quickly becomes cold upon getting wet. Skiing apparel, however, works well. Our recommendation: warm merino underwear and a fast warming down jacket.
We recommend:
- long underwear (bottom and top), synthetic, merino or wool
- warm pants (lined or fleece)
- warm fleece or long sleeve shirt (not cotton)
- lined jacket or vest, preferably down jacket
- waterproof jacket with hood (Gore-Tex or nylon)
- waterproof pants (Gore-Tex or nylon)
- socks (merino or ski socks)
- woolen cap or lined cap that protects your ears and fits under a helmet
- waterproof climbing gloves (2 pairs)
- solid mountain boots (in exceptional cases ski boots are also possible)
- gaiters if necessary
- Buff (neck protection)
- a minimum 25 litre backpack (space for clothing, snacks, drinks, climbing equipment)
- sun protection (glasses and cream)
- thermos or water bottle (already full!!!!)
- camera
- personal medicine
If you want to take your own technical material with you: (otherwise rental equipment included in the price)
- crampons: must fit the shoes and be easily adjustable, with vertical front teeth
- climbing harness: always with adjustable leg loops
- climbing helmet
- ice axe: steep ice axe
- screw carabines
- backup device: reverso, ATC or similar
