It is recommended to have climbed or mountaineered before and to have some familiarity with belaying and moving on rock. However, we will adapt the difficulty and pace to your experience.
No. The important thing is to have a minimum physical endurance and a desire to learn. There are very accessible ridges and others that are more demanding.
Yes. The activity is always carried out with approved equipment and under the constant supervision of a qualified guide.
