6 Day Mountaineering Course Mount Baker
This was literally one of the hardest things I have ever done. Carrying 70 pound pack weight for 6 days up Mount Baker to the summit while learning mountaineering skills like:
Increasing technical knowledge/skills in all aspects of snow and alpine climbing including:
- Glacier travel
- Rope/belay techniques
- Crevasse rescue
- Route finding
- Self arrest
- Rappelling
- Safe climbing
- Cramponing
- Rock Climbing
Developing educated, self-reliant climbers with the ability to evaluate subjective/objective hazards including:
- Rock fall
- Glacier conditions
- Gear evaluations
- Critical decision-making
- Group experience
- White-out conditions
- Wilderness navigation
- Weather conditions
and… well to stay alive.
