Training for climbing Mt Blanc

Hey everyone!:) 

Finally. I decided it, picked the date, arranged the guide, booked the hut. I’M GONNA CLIMB MT BLANC!

But before I left, I still needed to practice a few things without which I couldn’t go to Blanc. I found a guide in Austria who would teach me the rest of the things. The practice took place on Kitzsteinhorn. We trained rope management, all kinds of knots, but also how to save my ass in case of falling in a slope with an ice axe. The only thing I’m still not very confident about are avalanches. I’m thinking about taking a full course, because it’s a serious matter and many people unfortunately underestimate them.

Anyways, I took just a few pictures during this minitrip because it was more of a educative experience rather than photographic, but the weather was great, so I shot some pictures anyways:) 

Have a great Thursday guys! 🙂
