Notes:
• The program is depending on the location: The program might be changed and adjusted to the training area.
• The training area is located in vertical climbing area. Complete climbing gear incl. helmets, harnesses, ropes, belaying material etc. for all
participants including instructors is mandatory.
• In addition, the participants must be trained and in good physical conditions to climb on steep and/or rocky terrain.
• There will be technically skilled local instructors (mountain guides) to guarantee the safety of participants.
• Safety and climbing equipment must be checked before the training. Participants with limited technical skills and/or missing material may not be accepted.
• ICAR MEDCOM is not taking any responsibility for injuries related to this event as its members are only giving medical instructions. We request an exclusion of liability to all instructors and the organizers of the event.
