The
cost for this event is $384 and includes 3 days (May 31 - June 2) of
mentorship with a
guide and 2 nights accommodation at Bow Hut. Carpooling will be
organized prior to the event.
This
mentorship event is part of AMP (Alpine Mentorship Program)
organized by the ACC Calgary Section Alpine Chair jointly with ACMG
Mountain Guide Brent Peters' company PeakSTRATAGEM. This event
will be taught by Brent Peters from Peak Stratagem.
This
Alpine Mentorship Event is for individuals new to mountaineering. The
focus will be on developing safe skills for summer and winter
mountaineering including rope systems for glacier travel, crevasse
rescue, trip planning and navigation. Participants will have the
opportunity create and execute white out navigation plans to stand
on the summit of Rhondda, Gordon, Olive N and/or Saint
Nicholas. Focus will be on safe travel rather than on summits.
