Peak Experiences

Got a chance to experience Ice Climbing with the team of HOD and Pitidharr and I am amazed by the progress I could make in just 7 days, the team's teaching style and the overall experience with everyone. I 100% recommended HOD and it's workshops to anybody looking to try or get better at climbing outdoors, not only there is so much to learn and practice in their company but you also get to meet a bunch of fantastic people!
