Mountaineering Introduction

This is an inexpensive way to
find out if mountaineering is for you. Except for snacks, clothing and
water, we provide all the gear you will need on these overnight trips.
Are you ok in the cold? Want to
know how to walk on spikes (crampons), the basics of how to use an ice
ax, team arrest and rope management while tied into a 3-4 person line

overnight Adventure.
Staying overnight in snowy conditions introduces variables, views
and experiences on a much more intense level. In addition to the skills
mentioned above, we will teach you the best methods to set up
camp, cook some great meals, stay safe & warm throughout the night,
and practice leave no trace principles.
