I completed the Alpine Skills Course 1 and 2 with The Climbing Company. I wanted to do these courses to build confidence with alpine climbing equipment (crampons, ropes, ice axes, harnesses, belay devices etc.) before going to climb Mera Peak in Nepal.
Hamid was our instructor for both courses and he had an incredible in his teaching style – the right amount of information and theory mixed in with practical application and loads of fun. I had no knowledge about how to climb in Alpine environments prior to these courses. These courses have provided me with essential skills and knowledge to feel more confident going to Mera Peak.
A big thank you to Hamid and The Climbing Company for offering such a great course so close to Melbourne! Would highly recommend.

Had a spectacular backcountry weekend hosted by The Climbing Company, Mountain Safety Collective (MSC) and sponsored by Arc’teryx. Hamid, Simon (wombat), Luke and Dill were brilliant hosts, providing a safe and well planned experience. Such a great opportunity to experience the Victorian backcountry with a team of professionals. Roll on the next trip!
We had a wonderful weekend with the guys from The Climbing Company backcountry skiing and snow camping in the spectacular Victorian Alps. The team organised and coordinated a fantastic set of experiences for us all. Our tents were comfortable and cozy, the dining tent (Tipi) was extraordinary, with a wood burner and Wombat cooked us some delicious and nourishing food. Highly recommended for first timers and experienced skiers who want a unique experience in Australian mountains.
