Alpine
Scrambling
Intense (ASI)
If
you
missed the most recent Alpine Scrambling class
deadline or find it easier to take a class over a
long weekend – Alpine Scrambling Intense (ASI) is
for you, differing only from the regular Alpine
Scrambling class by the intensity of the
instructional experience.
Learn
how
to travel off-trail and safely across rock and snow
filled terrain and use an ice ax to reach some of
the great peaks in the area.
After
an
initial web cast lecture and a long-weekend of field
instruction the program culminates with the regular
Seattle Alpine Scrambling class Experience Field
Trip in June. Participants will also receive
instruction in Navigation. After
the class students are required to meet all other
requirements to successfully graduate the program.
The
first lecture web cast is required for all
participants as it will cover equipment, clothing
and other important basic elements in preparing for
a successful experience.
