The line between “ice climbing” and traditional “mountaineering” can be a blurry one.\u00a0 It is important for aspiring mountaineers to be familiar with everything from moving together as a roped team up a steep snow slope, to “pitching it out” when the terrain gets more challenging (or turns to ice).\u00a0 Proper rope use, ice axe and crampon technique is practiced during this course as we ascend an objective that presents a variety of challenges.<\/p>\n
