She Rocks Mixed Mountaineering Course
July 22, 2010 - July 26, 2010
We're excited to offer a She Rocks version of our ever-popular Mixed Mountaineering Course. These 5 days will give you an excellent foundation for all your pursuits in alpine terrain, be they on rock, ice, or snow!
It seems very important to us to show clients as many aspects of mountaineering as possible in a course like this. Our client to guide ratio is smaller than average, because we feel strongly about the mixed element of such a course. The terrain in North Cascades National Park is as good as it gets. Good access, big glaciers, long and exposed ridges, committing faces. It may be the best mountaineering-course location in the lower forty-eight states. We will base-camp in the Cascade Pass area and conduct our course from there.
The curriculum will include glacier travel, route planning, navigation, basic rope handling, crampon technique, short roping, crevasse rescue and movement on fourth class terrain.
