COVID-19 UPDATE: THIS COURSE IS NOT CURRENTLY CANCELED. PLEASE INQUIRE WITH THE COURSE LEADER FOR FURTHER UPDATES.

The Alpine Scrambling course teaches essential techniques of off-trail wilderness travel needed for scaling snow and rock summits. Alpine scrambling may at times involve unroped movement on and across low or moderately-exposed snow and rock terrain, but does not include roped climbing on high-angle, seriously-exposed technical rock faces, nor does it involve roped travel on crevassed glaciers.

We recommend that you not purchase your mountaineering equipment until after the 1st classroom session. Equipment will be discussed in the lecture.
