Itinerary:

This event is organized under the Alpine Mentorship Program (AMP). The goal of the AMP program is to develop stronger mountaineering base of trip leaders and participants in the Alpine Club. Since this is a mentorship event, participants are expected to make decisions and actively participate in trip planning. Participants will be mentored by Brent Peters, ACMG guide.

This event is for Level 3 and will focus on more advanced terrain. This course is for individuals who are comfortable leading both rock and ice, with glacier rope systems and crevasse rescue, and navigation.
