For this AMP event we will meet in Exshaw and go to a crag in the Bow Valley.
This mentorship event is part of the AMP (Alpine Mentorship Program) organized by ACC Calgary Section jointly with ACMG Mountain Guide Brent Peters from PeakSTRATAGEM.
This is an AMP 2 event and is suitable for intermediate mountaineers who have completed a rescue course in the past or have prior knowledge of improvised rescue systems.
The cost for this event is $180 and includes 1 day of mentorship with an ACMG guide from PeakSTRATAGEM.
The focus will be on developing the skill set needed for improvised rescue in the mountains. One day of reviewing basics and a second day will be scheduled on 25 June to review different scenarios that will require problem solving and use of the entire rescue skill set. This is your chance to take charge and help others learn while under the mentorship and coaching of an alpine guide.
Itinerary: We will meet in Exshaw Saturday morning and head to the crag.
