I enjoyed the course tremendously. It exceeded my expectations. The quality of the course was top notch. As a result of the course I feel very comfortable with glacier travel and will be applying my new skills as much as possible. -2019 Climber
The program was stellar. From arrival to gear check to the summit and back, we were led by experts who were truly interested in teaching us what we needed to know to become successful, safe and environmental conscious mountaineers. The itinerary was challenging but well thought out. Guides were phenomenal and educational content was strong.
