The Intermediate Glacier Course is targeted at basic grads and is designed to follow on from the foundation set in the Basic Climbing Course. It will cover the next steps in building your skills to lead, plan and practice safe climbing and descending glacier routes in the Cascades. This course will give you the skills and confidence to plan and lead your own glacier climbs. It consists of two evening lectures followed by two weekend trips. The first weekend is a 2-day practice session held on snow slopes. The second trip is an overnight climb of a Cascade glacier route, where participants organize, plan and run the complete climb, under supervision of a climb leader.
