Safety on the Climb with SAAC

SAAC (snow & alpine awareness camps) takes the initiative in climbing safety, taking fans of vertical climbs step by step up from Halle to the rock-face by hand. Beginners and advanced climbers can join one of four different skill groups and gain tips and assistance regarding accident avoidance, learning how equipment and preparation contribute to risk minimizing and how accidents can be avoided with the proper technique.
