Mountaineering & Learning Vacations in Alaska
These courses are designed as a hands-on introduction to safe mountaineering. We spend the days moving through the mountains and across massive glaciers, plunging ourselves into a world of jagged peaks and brilliant blue ice falls.
Our trip begins with a spectacular ski plane flight into the mountains. After we establish a camp we will begin to learn crampon, ice axe, and rope team skills. Training in avalanche awareness, anchor techniques, belaying, crevasse rescue, navigation, and hazard/risk assessment are covered as you gain experience. Conditions permitting we will then put your new skills to use climbing some spectacular Alaskan peaks.
