There are few more magical places to rock climb than in the Alps, approach on a glacier transition from crampons to rock boots then climb to an incredible summit surrounded jagged peaks, glaciers and passes. Alternatively why not enjoy all that rock climbing in the Alps has to offer but without using crampons at all. Some of our favourite alpine rock venues like the Bernina, Albigna dam, Furka and Grimsel passes all have amazing high mountain granite that you can get to in approach shoes.
