Important:

I am not guiding this tour, rather searching for a partner(s) of comparable experience as me. We should know each other from previous similar tours. If not, please contact me before joining and tell me your experience with rappeling/rope management and ideally belaying. I reserved the right to remove people if I consider they dont have the suffcient knowledge/experience for this tour. In this way the safety of all the participants is guaranteed, please don´t take it personal in this case :)

As this is a long and difficult tour, the participant number is limited.
