16 day Rock & Alpine Course

This 16 days course is designed to introduce participants to all aspects of rock and alpine climbing. It is a combination of our 2 day Top Roping & Anchor Building Course, our 7 day Advanced Rock Week, and our 7 day Alpine Skills Week.

Participants will leave the course feeling comfortable undertaking self led trips of multipitch rock climbs and intermediate alpine routes on rock, ice, and glaciated terrain.

Prerequisites:

All that is required for this course is a basic level of fitness and a strong desire to learn mountain skills. If you feel that you already have the skills covered in the Introductory Rock course you may join on day three and the course cost will be adjusted accordingly.
