Itinerary:

This event is the first of Alpine Mentorship Program (AMP) events that will be run over the next year. The goal of the AMP program is to develop stronger mountaineering base of trip leaders and participants in the Alpine Club. The AMP program has 3 levels so ensure you sign up for a level that is most appropriate for your skills. 

This event is for Level 3 alpinists - individuals who are already leading WI3 and who are aware of multipitch systems, this course will focus on improving your efficiency. In the am, we will review anchor building system for multipitch ascent and descent, placing screws on lead, and lead strategy. In the afternoon, we will apply and reinforce these skills in a multipitch context. By the end of the day, participants WILL feel more confident to lead a team safely and efficiently up a route like the Silverhorn when it is in pure ice conditions.
