Alpine Guide based out of Canmore. This course
is for hikers, scramblers and climbers who want
to learn the basics about glacier travel. This
two-day course will cover glaciology for
climbers, dividing the
rope for glacier travel, shortening the rope,
firn-line transitions,

participants do not have their own.
