Hello UKC!
I'm the international trip officer for St Andrews University Mountaineering club which surprisingly enough requires me to plan a climbing trip somewhere abroad. The trip has to be accessible for all experience levels at an affordable price. My first idea was the dolomites. It has a large range of small stuff for the beginner climber to learn on and spectacular walking/via ferratta for them to enjoy and then It also has some of the largest adventures in europe for the heavier hitters in the club
I've done a little research into the area and what's around, and from what I can gather the summer season starts in June. Does this mean that the classic routes on some of the larger mountains are likely to be climbable by june time? I acknowledge that you can probably do most of the smaller low lying routes in June, but are routes on stuff like the tre cima likely to be climbable in June, and if not when are they likely to be in condition by?
Also I'd be interested to hear other suggestions of great places to take the mountaineering club, they did sport climbing in Siurana last year so I'd prefer to do something different, hence why I thought the dolomites would be amazing!
Many thanks for the advice in advance
