Itinerary:

The instructor for this skills series is a Brent Peters, an ACMG guide from PeakStrategem, who has assisted the Calgary Section in development of the Alpine Mentorship Program (AMP).  Participants will be instructed and coached to learn and develop their skills, in order for members to be active participants in, and potentially lead, safe and successful trips.


Spend a full day to continue to practice and refine the skills from the Improvised Rope Rescue series (June 23-25, July 28-30 or Oct 14-17), in a multipitch context. 


Some participants will be asked to lead a rope team. Leading is a requirement to practice some of the skills in the air and having completed ground training establishes competency prior to accepting the risk of being in the vertical.


Cost based on two participants is $262.50; based on three to six participants is $157.50

Required Items to Bring:
