My first adventure with Mapo Tapo and I had a really good time, a professional guide with a lot of experience and I took home a lot of valuable information for my next ascents.

what an amazing experience. really loved this intro to mountaineering course, I feel very comfortable now on a glacier along with different knots to use while mountaineering. the final day we got to submit one of the mountains around the hut which was so amazing and such a cool way to end the course!
