Three Day Mountaineering Overnight Workshop


This is serious mountain living at its best! You値l spend three days and two nights camping and a lot of that time above tree line where conditions can be extremely unforgiving.

After careful planning and preparation, we値l head out and establish a high camp. This will be within striking distance of major peaks in the White Mountains or the Adirondacks. From camp, we will leave our tents and sleeping gear behind and summit the higher peaks and ridges with lighter packs. We値l be using crampons and an ice axe or trekking poles to cover a lot of ground. There will be plenty of time to develop skills for above treeline navigation and avalanche hazard assessment. You値l find that melting snow for water and cooking will become normal routine and you値l get the satisfaction that comes with facing severe conditions with a certain level of comfort and confidence.

This course is great preparation for extended trips in arctic settings, where 20 below temperatures and 60 mph winds are common.

Topics Covered: preparing for extended winter camping near treeline, selecting the right gear and clothing, navigation skills and risk assessment, cooking in the winter, efficient mountain travel techniques, rental equipment available upon request

Offered 7 days a week by private arrangement. Please call 800-310-4504 for information.
