About this Event

We plan to cover a broad range of alpine skills, including snow climbing, rope travel, anchoring on both snow and rock, rappelling, prussiking, belaying, ice axe and crampon skills, etc.. While not a "crevasse rescue course", we will spend a limited amount of time on it.
Course will take place at MCA's Mint Hut. Approach is 6-8 hours, eight miles and 2,400 ft elevation gain. The newly expanded hut will be able to accommodate the entire party as the hut will be closed to other persons, so tent is optional.

No pre-requisites except to have a reasonable amount of fitness and ability to maintain oneself in a camping environment.
