Get the skills you need to climb your first glacial peak!
Mick Pearson, AMGA Rock and Alpine Guide and owner of Kaf Adventures, had a vision: to help budding mountaineers get ready for their first glacier mountaineering trip. Lots of new climbers are apprehensive before a big trip: the skills needed to safely get up and down the mountain, even when guided, is a long list to accomplish on a single trip or on someone’s own. Mick envisioned a course that taught the essentials to the aspiring mountaineer, so that when they show up to their first trip, they have the what it takes to get up (and down!) the mountain!
