David and Melchior have been in Switzerland last week.
They have made a lot of plans about what they wanted to climb but due to the fact that there was still a lot of snow they couldn’t do all but they did climbed Breithorn.
Check out the movie…
As being in the mountains a lot means you could potentially get into a rescue situation it’s good to practice this now and then especially because you would normally never use these techniques.

Night training with bivouac, Monte Cervino, Rotterdam, NL
Because of the fact that we don’t have that many cold winters in The Netherlands 2 team members wanted to take maximum advantage of the few winters days we do have. David and Melchior spend one night at the Monte Cervino (near Rotterdam, NL) climbing and sleeping with minus 8 degrees celcius.
Because of the fact that it has been snowing the conditions were very realistic, Unfortunately some routes where to slippery to climb as we were not allowed to use crampons (on a artificial climbing wall?!)
Done climbing? Time for a good meal:
It was a very cold night but good training and a lot of fun.
