Hiking & Climbing
These activities are offered as part of an effort to make the experiences more accessible to the nomad community. We are not mountain guides or tour guides, we are just hikers and rock climbers sharing our knowledge and love for the mountains, and offering you some fun experiences. While we will do our best to assist you along the way, it is ultimately your own responsibility to follow our instructions and to make sure you stay safe.
