The goal of the Intro to Alpine Rock Climbing Course is to offer a thorough introduction to various climbing disciplines that can be safely utilized in an adventuresome alpine setting. Your course will begin at Crystal Crag in the Mammoth Lakes Basin where you will learn rappelling and belay techniques, in addition to movement over vertical rock for multiple rope lengths. The following days will be spent in the Eastern Sierra backcountry where you’ll climb one of the most classic summits in all the Sierra, Bear Creek Spire. This will allow you to put your newly learned skills to the test in an incredible alpine setting, while remaining focused on moving efficiently over vertical and fourth class terrain. Your final day will take you on a climb of Little Lakes Peak which will allow for more practice of your newly learned skillsets in addition to offering a new perspective on the surrounding peaks before descending back to the car. This course is thoughtfully designed to train you in all the alpine skills required to achieve your goal of summiting an alpine peak with confidence.
