Start your mountaineering year right by taking a BMC (Basic Mountaineering Course) session with Nomad Adventure's An Batallones and his co-facilitators. Experience "oldskul" style in commuting to base camp, prepare your own meal at camp, sleep inside a tent, participate in a lively discussion and hike an actual mountain for beginners. Have yourself BMC certified and let this be the start of your "outdoorful" 2018.
"Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are not enough without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end." Edward Whymper
