A way of climbing where 40% is about brute force while the remaining 60% is mainly interlocking techniques and the habit of placing protections. A smattering of crack climbing and the use of friends can also be of great help for classic climbing in the Dolomites or on limestone.<\/p>\n<div>\n<dl id=\"attachment_2155\">\n<dt><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.francescosalvaterra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/In-arrampicata-sugli-stupendi-satelliti-del-Tacul-MOnte-Bianco.-400x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"346\" height=\"520\" \/><\/dt>\n<dd><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<h2>How and where<\/h2>\n<p>How the course is designed and where: the course is offered in two versions, the first one will be held in one day, in a suitable crag.
