This introductory course follows the AIARE curriculum in a 2-evening, 2-day (24 hours total): Thursday and Friday evenings (from 6:00 to 9:30 pm), Saturday and Sunday all day (from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm).

Accessing the range by ski plane, we'll spend the first week camped on the glacier practicing
backcountry and glacier travel skills and searching out memorable first ascents and descents.
The second week will be spent touring European-style through glacier passes and dramatic
peaks.
