Who are our courses for?
To make the most of this course, you should have a good level of endurance, an aptitude for rock climbing, and some scrambling experience. This course offers 6 days of training and climbing and has been carefully designed to develop your existing skills, as well as teach you new techniques crucial for exploring the mountains safely and independently.
Start your journey off on non-committing terrain and progress to steeper rock faces and glaciated areas. Once you have mastered the basics of this course, climbs such as Mt. Assiniboine, East Ridge of Mt. Temple, or Mt. Robson should be within your abilities.
To continue honing your skills on larger objectives, consider Aconcagua, Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, and even Denali, for a step up in skill development and difficulty. While most of these don’t require advanced abilities, they require a depth of knowledge and skills covered by this course.
What will you learn in this course?
Some lessons are obvious, others less so. Hands-on mentorship from a professional Mountain Guide is the most effective way to build a strong foundation. Skills will be explained, demonstrated in the field, and then put into practice during glacier crossings and ascents.
PLANNING & NAVIGATING
One key to a successful adventure is route finding and a sense of orientation. Navigation in challenging terrain, especially during whiteouts, is one of the most crucial skills to master on your journey to become an independent alpinist.
Your Guides
When he first stepped foowt in the mountains, Jeff Bullock knew this was home. He’s been wondering what adventures the snow-capped peaks have had in store since he was 12.
Jeff started training for his ACMG/IFMGA mountain guide certificate in 2002 and started his own business, Alpine Air Adventures.
To this day, he has yet to find a better feeling than sharing his passion for adventure you can only find high up in the alpine kingdom of the Canadian Rockies.
