Media of the day

Roping up on a glacier is one of the basic techniques for progressing in mountaineering. There are several techniques and several knots to know. The Écrins guides present to us today everything you need to know about rope-up on a glacier for 2, 3 or more people. We are going to talk about knots, torso rings, mobile or fixed gallows and the adaptation of the rope to the terrain.
