Montagneur
A resource of knowledge and tools for progressing in mountain terrain.
Montagneur is organized into four progressive chapters, ideally tackled in order. Training techniques, gear, skills and the mindset needed for mountain practice are covered here, with no claim to absolute truth. This resource was born from a spirit of sharing and exchange.
