What the day looks like

An alpine day runs like a committing multipitch day on different terrain. It takes more planning and more attention to the weather, and the way down is often more technical than the way up.

Some objectives need a start at 2 or 3 in the morning, and a few call for a night near the start. Those are priced case by case.

For what to bring, where to meet and how the weather call is made, see Your day.
