In districts where it is possible to conduct trainings on the natural relief, there are many “punched” trails of different levels of complexity for climbing with the top insurance and with the low insurance; variants for training with own “iron equipment”, which necessary for the organization of the APS (artificial point of support) and stations, and even more. Also on the rocks is possible to conduct drytooling trainings – in crampons, with ice tools or ice fifi.
