A guide who saw you on snow in February can build on it in April instead of reassessing you. Skills stack instead of resetting. Confidence compounds.

We take on <strong>two to four climbers a year<\/strong>, no more.

class=\"sub\">How a season-long program works, who it suits, and what happens when you get in touch.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"grp\">Is a program right for me?<\/div>\n\n    <details><summary>What exactly is a season-long climbing program?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">A series of guided outings across months \u2014 typically a weekend every few weeks \u2014 with the same guide, working toward a defined goal. Instead of booking isolated days, you commit to a journey: skills stack, confidence compounds, and by the end of the season you're somewhere you couldn't have reached in a single course or a handful of unconnected days.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details><summary>How is it different from booking several guided days?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Continuity, and a plan. Separate bookings mean starting from scratch each time, often with a different guide who has to reassess you. A program means one guide who remembers exactly how you moved on snow in February and builds directly on it in April. It also means the outings are chosen in sequence, so each one prepares you for the next rather than being a nice day in isolation.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details><summary>Do I need to already be a strong climber?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">No. Programs are defined by ambition rather than ability \u2014 we've built seasons for people who had never worn crampons and for experienced climbers wanting alpine autonomy. What matters is that you have something you're genuinely trying to reach and the willingness to work at it across a season. The starting point is wherever you are.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details><summary>Which of the three paths am I?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Most people recognise themselves straight away. If you want beautiful days and don't want the responsibility, that's the Guided Season. If you have a specific summit in mind that's out of reach today, that's the Preparation. If your goal is to eventually go without a guide entirely, that's the Path to Independence. And if you can't tell, message us \u2014 working that out together is genuinely the most useful first conversation.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details><summary>I don't have a specific objective. Is that a problem?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Not at all, and it's more common than you'd think. Plenty of people arrive knowing only that they want to be better in the mountains, or that they've plateaued and don't know why. Part of the first conversation is finding the objective \u2014 often it's something you've been quietly thinking about for years without saying out loud.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <div class=\"grp\">How it works<\/div>\n\n    <details><summary>How many outings does a season involve?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">It varies entirely with the objective. Some programs run to a weekend every couple of months across a year; others are more intensive over a shorter period. A season aiming at an alpine summit needs more than a season of enjoyable Catalan rock days. We work it out together once we know where you're heading.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details><summary>Where do the outings take place?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Rooted in Catalunya and the Pyrenees \u2014 Montserrat's conglomerate, the granite crests, the high Pyrenean terrain for snow and altitude, and the classic ridges where mountain judgement is actually built. If your objective is abroad, the preparation still happens here; Catalunya has almost everything you need to get ready for the Alps.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details><summary>Why won't you put a price on the page?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Because any number would be misleading. The cost depends on how many outings your objective needs, what terrain we use, and whether you're on your own or with a partner \u2014 a season toward an alpine summit and a season of Catalan rock days are genuinely different products. We scope it with you and quote something honest. What we can say is that it sits well below what the equivalent number of guided days would cost you in the Alps.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details><summary>Can I do a program with a partner or a friend?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Yes, and it often works beautifully \u2014 you learn the same systems, you use them together afterwards, and it reduces the cost per person considerably. The main condition is that you're roughly aligned in ambition and ability, since a program built for two people heading in different directions serves neither well.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details><summary>Why only two to four climbers a year?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Because a program is close to private coaching across a season, and that doesn't scale. It's the same reason our camps are capped and our courses take four: depth requires giving each person real time. Being selective also means we only take on climbers we can genuinely commit to for a whole season, which is fairer to everyone.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <div class=\"grp\">Getting started<\/div>\n\n    <details><summary>What happens when I get in touch?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">A conversation, not a sales pitch. We'll ask what you're hoping to do, what you've climbed, how much time you realistically have, and what worries you about it. Then we'll tell you honestly whether a program is the right thing \u2014 sometimes the answer is that a course or a few guided days would serve you better, and we'd rather say so.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details><summary>When should I start a program?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Ideally a season before you want to arrive. If you're dreaming of an alpine objective next summer, autumn is the moment to begin, because you want winter for snow skills and spring for long days. Get in touch as early as you can \u2014 with only a handful of spots each year, the timing usually works out better for people who ask early.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details><summary>Am I committing to anything by getting in touch?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Nothing at all. Message us, tell us your dream, and find out whether it's realistic and what it would take. Plenty of people have that conversation and decide to do a course first, or to wait a year. That's a good outcome too \u2014 the worst version of this is someone starting a season they weren't ready for.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details><summary>Can a program include camps or trips abroad?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Often, yes. Our <a href=\"\/camps-and-retreats\/\">camps and retreats<\/a> can slot into a season as intensive blocks \u2014 a week of bouldering or sport climbing does more for your movement than several separate days. And if your objective is abroad, we can build toward it and in some cases accompany you.
