Our first day will be spent learning technical ice climbing skills on the spectacular Matanuska Glacier. That evening we'll sort gear and get ready for our ski-plane flight into a high alpine area that will offer a variety of conditions and climbing challenges.

Most of our climbing will be from an established base camp though we may hike, ski or snowshoe to move camps, incorporate a traverse route or tackle a peak once basic skills are mastered. Depending on the weather and snow conditions of course!

We'll train you in the following essential mountaineering skills:

Mountain Safety: hazard recognition, judgment, avalanche awareness.
Expedition Life: Contributing to the team to face challenges.
Camping in the mountain environment: living comfortably, snow shelters, adapting!
Glacier Travel: Rope teams, navigation, sled and snowshoe travel, route finding.
Snow School: Snow and ice techniques, Use of ice axe and crampons, Self arrest.
Climbing Skills:Rope and knot work, anchors, belaying, protection, ice and mixed route techniques.
Crevasse Skills: Recognition of hazards, crevasse rescue.

Challenge Level: 5; Travelling, living and climbing in potentially harsh weather. Carrying heavy loads up steep hills.

Long days of hiking on rough, unmaintained or non-existent trails in remote areas with 50 - 60 pound packs. 10 hours or more paddling, hiking or outdoor activities per day. 4 - 14 consecutive days in the backcountry tent camping in primitive areas with no established toilet facilities. The group may take on all camp chores.

A Level 5 trip demands excellent physical and psychological condition. Just going to the gym 3 days per week probably won't cut it.
