Until You Spread Your Wings And Try To Fly, You'll Have No Idea How Far You Can Actually Hike

 

 

Okay, let's say — just for the sake of argument — that you’re a numbskull who can't tell an ice axe from a big, fat, frozen hole in the ground (a crevasse, by the way; that big, fat, frozen hole in the ground). Don’t stress, Jethro, there’s hope. After all, if a no-talent queen-of-all-trailer-trash like Britney Spears can make a career out of that so-called singing of hers, then pretty much anything is possible, wouldn't you say?

So believe us when we tell you that we can turn you into a sun- and wind-burned mountain-type, no problem. Well, we can teach you the skills, anyway. The rest is up to you. Check out our Mountaineering School programs and let us get you up to speed on important stuff like glacier travel, crevasse rescue, snow science, and, oh yeah … lots and lots of hands-on climbing experience.

Maybe it’s just been a while and your once finely-honed and highly polished repertoire of climbing skills has fallen victim to rust and lack of use. It's okay, we’ve all had our dry spells (we remember this one year in college ...). Our Mountaineering School programs can help you regain the skills and confidence you need to get back in the saddle.
